RCWA – Steelhead Creek Weekly Cleanup

THE SCIENCE OF TRASH
We are going to try again this week to collect and count trash and compile data for what has accumulated under the Arden Garden Connector. We need people with waders to work in the creek removing trash.

In August 2021 Friends of Steelhead Creek completely cleaned this area using draft horses as part of a study funded by a RegSan grant. This time Badgers will be working in the water using waders, and a team will be on shore removing the trash and collecting the important data.

We are continuing our work with Friends of Steelhead Creek stewards Dr. Roland Brady and Crystal Tobias to clean this poor, trashed creek.

We will meet at the southwest levee gate of Steelhead Creek at West El Camino, near where we have met before. We will then park nearby on the levee.

Please come out and help with this project. We will provide bags, but please bring along your sturdy footwear, grabbers, buckets, gloves, and hats – a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available. Entry into the water is always optional.

As with all events shared on RCWA, participation is performed solely at your own risk. Please place safety FIRST and do only what you feel comfortable doing. Moreover, participants will be required to sign a Release and Waiver form if they have not done so previously.

Overall, be safe, have fun, and get some “Exercise with a Purpose” as Bill Templin always says!

Thank you!
