“Daunting”
When Margarita says it’s daunting, you know it’s bad!
American River Cleanup @ Woodlake, 4/3/2024
On Wednesday, 8 volunteers visited the Woodlake area of the American River Parkway to clean some previously flooded abandoned camps. This area floods regularly and camps are abandoned often, always leaving tons of trash. Our first huge camp had already been cleaned by the County maintenance crews. RCWA volunteers follow up, perform detailed mop up work, and scour the entire area for hidden and buried trash. Micro trash takes forever to find and remove. If RCWA didn’t do this work, it probably would never be done. While cleaning this camp, we found a huge trash pit removing 12 large bags. Our first pile from a previously cleaned camp was impressive.
With less than an hour left, the Badgers were faced with a “daunting” challenge. We started at the perimeter, doing the tedious work of cleaning hidden scattered trash, from the mud and bramble. RCWA volunteers always exceed all expectations. We piled all the trash in two big piles in the middle of the camp for the Sacramento County Regional Parks bobcat to quickly pick up. Our partnership with Parks is rewarding and inspiring for both our volunteers and county staff. It is always amazing what just a few volunteers can do in a short amount of time.
