Please join RCWA, Sacramento Area Creeks Council, Friends of Steelhead Creek (Dr. Roland Brady & Crystal Tobias), Caltrans and Reclamation District 1000 for this HUGE California Coastal Cleanup event along the banks of Steelhead Creek.
Please REGISTER for this cleanup at the Caltrans website below, so we have a proper headcount of volunteers. P
CleanCA.com/Get-Involved (this event may not appear on the website immediately, please check back if you do not see it)
The work site will be on the WEST bank of Steelhead Creek, near the confluence with Arcade Creek. We will meet at the levee gate on the WEST side of Steelhead Creek. PLEASE be on time (early ok) since we have to lock the gate behind us. At 8:30 am SHARP, we will caravan to the cleanup site. Late comers will not be accommodated. Folks that might need to leave early are welcome.
Our great partners at Reclamation District 1000 have agreed to haul off all trash and debris removed by volunteers and Caltrans has agreed to market and fiscally sponsor the event!
AGE LIMIT: This event is not suitable for minors under 14 years old. Minors 14 and older are invited, but must be supervised by a responsible adult during the entire event.
There will be plenty of hard-core badgering (digging out the big stuff), but also lots of easy detail work along the flat floodplain above the creek. We 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. Shovels, rakes and cultivators would also be helpful, if you have them.
As there is water in the creek and side channels, participants will be required to wear rain boots or waders if they intend to get into the water. Entry into any waters 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 says.
Thank you!💚
