River City Waterway Alliance – Ali’s Friday Arcade Creek Cleanup at American River College

Please meet at ARC’s North Parking Lot, accessed from Myrtle Avenue (near Kohler Creek). We will then caravan to our parking spot near the Horticulture Center. We will start PROMPTLY at 8:30 am so please arrive early so you don’t miss the caravan to our parking spot deeper into the campus. After our safety chat, we will continue to clean creek channel and along the top of the banks. We expect some sections of the creek will have water in this stretch.

RCWA is so happy to continue partnering with Ali and Arcade Creek Adopt-A-Creek Project to continue cleaning Arcade Creek. Please bring water and only do what you are comfortable doing. The creek is fairly dry making trash and debris easily accessible and visible. Rain boots or sturdy shoes are nice to protect from sand and fox tails and long shirt/pants are ideal to protect from the sun and any scratches & scrapes.

This event will range in difficulty from easy to difficult, with some pretty easy pickins’ around the flat grassy upper banks.

RCWA will provide bags, but please bring along your sturdy footwear, grabbers, buckets and gloves – a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available. Recommended (but not required) boots or rain boots.

As with all events shared by 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!
