Location: Garden Highway and Truxel along Steelhead Creek
Time: 9:00 a.m. - noon
Difficulty Level: 3, 4, or 5
Join Sacramento Picks It Up! for part 3 of a much-needed clean-up along Steelhead Creek near the intersection of Garden Highway and Truxel Road. Parking is available at the business park at 1740 Creekside Oaks Drive. From there it's a short walk up Truxel to the clean up site, which is just a bit east of where we cleaned in the first two clean-up efforts. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes such as hiking boots. This terrain is uneven with steep and sometimes slippery slopes, muddy ground, and lots of branches and brambles. You’ll get a great workout while making a difference!
