It’s all hands on deck for this one! This beautiful area needs love. This is the large area across the creek from Sacramento Picks It Up’s previous Steelhead Creek cleanups. Most of the area is shaded trails on level ground with lots of trash and abandoned camps. Some trashed areas along Steelhead are accessible. This site is located between Steelhead Creek and the American River, not far from the confluence with the Sacramento River. Cleaning of this site will have water quality benefits for all three bodies of water.
This site has easy access with convenient free parking. Parking passes are required. Someone will be at the parking pay stations to help. If you are early or late, follow these instructions: The pay stations are located near the kiosks upon entering. Guests will need to use the pay station to enter the code and receive their parking pass. Upon arriving at the pay station follow the prompts on the screen for #5 “More Selections” then #3 “Coupon Code” then enter the coupon code provided below. The parking pass will be printed and needs to be placed on the dash of each vehicle in your party. Our coupon code: SPIU41022 (Please note it is a zero in the code, not the letter O).
WHAT TO EXPECT
Participation in any of these events is at your own risk. If you participate in any group events promoted by Sacramento Picks It Up!, you agree to hold harmless any organizer, person, and/or organization involved.
SAFETY FIRST! We always recommend 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. If you are on Facebook, you can also check out the GUIDES tab for various helpful tips on gear, safety protocols and 311 requests etc.
Events have a Difficulty Level assigned to them so you can choose the type of event that is best for your physical abilities and interest level. 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).
All events are BYOB (buckets) & G (gloves and grabbers)! Please also bring your own water and snacks. We have extra supplies to loan out if anyone needs anything. Prior to participating in any event, we encourage you to stretch, hydrate and make sure you are properly fueled.
… and thank you for volunteering to clean up our city and its waterways.
