Time: 8:30 a.m. - 11 a.m.

The cleanup area will be Zinfandel Drive from the CDF Training Center south to Morrison Creek (across from Mather Golf Course) and Douglas Blvd from Mather Lake east, then south on Mather Field Road to the Community Church (across the street from Sacramento Splash). Up to 20 feet both sides of those roads (where there is that much space) and along the walking path. There are 2 seasonal creeks along the way that are now dry. Some trash can be put in dumpsters at Mather Lake, but they are small. Please bring grippers & grabbers, gloves, wide brim hat, H2O. This is a level 2 cleanup (sharps ie medical waste is not expected but there are homeless encampments nearby parts of the area). Meetup near the AF Memorial at the intersection of Douglas and Eagles Nest / Zinfandel Dr.

Difficulty levels are Level 1 (easy, flat terrain); Level 2 (mostly easy terrain); Level 3 (moderate terrain, “off-road” natural areas, some heavy items); Level 4 (difficult terrain, heavy items); Level 5 (very difficult terrain, mostly heavy items).
