June | 1 | 2 - RCWA – American River Sunset Trash Splash @ Township 9
18:00 -20:00 07/02/2024  Come join RCWA as we return to Township 9 for this wonderful SUNSET cleanup. After entering the Discovery Park gate at the entrance from Richard Blvd, take your first right and park under the historic Jibboom Street Bridge (green bridge that leads to the Park). We will have parking passes available. Please bring along your boats (kayaks, canoes, inflatables, or paddle boards), or simply walk along the shoreline and provide support by land. We will clean the American River waterline adjacent to Township 9, then retreat to the tranquil comfort of Tiscornia Beach to enjoy the sunset, songbirds and cold beverages. BYO drinks for the sunset viewing, friendship and comradery. Please come out and help with this leisurely evening event. 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. The American River is fairly low this time of year making previously inaccessible trash along the banks ripe for the picking. This will be an easy to difficult level event with a moderate walk or paddle. There will be walking up and down the levee bank, depending on where the trash is located. Choose whatever activity you desire. 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! River City Waterway Alliance

| 4 | 5 - RCWA – Ali’s Friday Arcade Creek Cleanup
08:30 -11:30 07/05/2024 Please join us for this cleanup of Arcade Creek near Madison Avenue. RCWA is continuing to partner with Arcade Creek – Adopt A Creek Project to focus on another infamously trashed stretch of this 16.2 mile creek. Please bring water and only do what you are comfortable doing. As always, you can leave whenever you want or need. Please park on the residential streets, but be sure not to block any driveways or garbage cans. We will park on Connecticut Drive, then cautiously walk to our cleanup spot at the creek (either via the nearby back alley there or via Madison Avenue). From there, we will follow the trash upstream, removing litter and bulk items both in the creek and adjacent thereto. This cleanup location has some challenging access spots into the creek and may require a rope to get into the channel, however, there are some flat spots as well for easy pickin’. The event will range in difficulty from moderate to hard and may not be suitable for children under the age of 16. There will be something for almost everyone as we will be cleaning in the creek and up above, on land. 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. We expect there will be water in the creek, fairly deep in a few spots.. 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 our Page, 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.

| 6 - RCWA – Bannon Island Cleanup 35.0
08:30 -11:30 07/06/2024 RCWA will continue the cleaning and restoration of this beautiful Nature Study Area. We will park on the levee adjacent to Garden Highway very close to Interstate 5, rather than driving onto the island. This is the area we parked over the winter a few times and on Father’s Day, more recently. Sturdy shoes/boots and long sleeves and long pants are recommended because of thick bramble and poison oak. This will be an easy to medium level event with a moderate walk. Heat is expected so please hydrate prior to the event and bring along plenty of water/fluids to the event. RCWA will provide bags, but please bring along your grabbers, buckets, and gloves – a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available. 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.
