Location: American River, 7887 La Riviera Drive

Time: 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.

One of SPIU’s newest members, Wolfe Hudson, is diving right in and hosting his own event on the American River. The event will remove trash from the American River near the La Riviera access point. Street parking available. Meet up at 11am and help clean along the river’s shore. Wolfe is having some fun with this clean up by having a spooky theme, so dress in costume (or come as is). You could win a River Trash t-shirt and a $25 gift card. BYO supplies (bucket, gloves, and grabber) and water. 

WHAT TO EXPECT

SAFETY FIRST! SPIU! always recommends good quality gloves and use of a trash picker, plus sturdy shoes. Terrain may be uneven, wet or muddy. Long-sleeves and long pants are advised.
