[Meeting Spot is Gateway Park on Norwood Avenue near the intersection with Fairbanks Ave]In early observance of this year's Earth Day activities, RCWA is once again partnering with the City of Sacramento, Arcade Creek Adopt-A-Creek Project and Sacramento Area Creeks Council, to clean Arcade Creek near Gateway Park and the Walter S. Ueda Parkway. This promises to be another fantastic event you will not want to miss!
These parkway areas are full of vegetation and other natural filters that have stopped a substantial amount of trash from being swept into stormdrains and downstream into the Delta and beyond. But that leaves a lot of cleanup work to rid this beautiful parkway of the resulting debris fields of trash.
This event will range in difficulty from easy to difficult, with some pretty easy pickins' around the flat grassy parkway.
AGE LIMIT: This event is not suitable for minors under 12 years old. Minors older than 12 are invited, but must be supervised by a responsible adult during the entire event.
1) If you plan to attend, please click "Going". This will ensure enough food is provided for the event and help us prepare strategically (parking, cleanup sites, equipment, etc.)
2) Register with the City ("Gateway Park"). https://app.betterimpact.com/PublicOrganization/b4c66c5a-b7e8-483e-ac24-f61ead28e0b8/Activity/c379b30a-567c-480e-a919-96bb1fc89dcc/3
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): rain boots or waders - there will be water in some areas.
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 an RCWA 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!💚
