Wanting to pick up where we left off at our Earth Day Cleanup in Del Paso Regional Park on Sunday, 8 of us arrived after work Tuesday evening to continue cleaning this stretch of Arcade Creek. We started on the opposite side of the park under Auburn Blvd. and headed downstream toward Sunday's ending spot. En route, we encountered two debris dams full of trash which consumed most of the evening. 💪💚
While cleaning the first debris dam, Monteana discovered a juvenile trout in the pool of water among the organic matter and trash! This is the second juvenile trout found in less than a week in Arcade Creek, the first at Norwood Avenue on Saturday! This is an amazing indication that trash and debris obstructions removed by volunteers downstream in Steelhead Creek over the past 2 years is starting to allow fish passage. 🎉🥳
Within 2 1/2 hours, we made two large piles of bags and bulk items to be hauled away on another day.
