Our 12th visit to Arcade Creek @ Norwood Avenue was a GREAT one. It's incredible what 8 volunteers, 2 folks from American River Flood Control District, 1 excavator and 2 dump trucks can accomplish in just 3 hours. And thank you to photographer Stuart for joining us. We can’t wait to see your photographs. 📸💚
In 3 hours, 7,900 pounds of trash and debris was extracted, piled, and loaded, filling two very large dump trucks. The highlight was the removal of a boat that had run amuck months ago and sat blocking the entire main creek channel for so long. Luke operated the excavator with precision all day while plucking out not only the boat, but also two deeply buried shopping carts from the main channel.
Total haul included 1 boat, 2 shopping carts, 2 tires, 1 deeply buried car seat, 32 bicycle frames, piles of loose litter and debris, and scores of batteries and needles.
Thank you so much Luke and Gilbert from ARFCD for joining us yesterday. We cannot wait to team up again to continue unblocking this channel and giving the poor creek life again. 💚
