🎶We're gonna keep our heads to the sky
Gonna walk each step with pride
On a fairly pleasant Saturday morning (in the shade), 16 passionate volunteers returned to Arcade Creek at Norwood Avenue for our 22nd cleanup at that location since February 18th.
This event was similar to the ones before with trash found over every square inch of the lower creek floodplain. This includes not only items on the surface, but also debris buried deeply under the now dry and hardened clay and silt. It takes dedication and strong will to remove it all. The volunteers who continue to come out to Norwood have an abundance of both.
This morning, we worked mostly in the shade of a willow grove where we found shelter from the sun and thousands of pounds of textiles, plastics, bicycle parts, 2 tires, small wooden structures, a large plastic barrel that almost became Judy’s permanent resting place 😁 and so much more. Forensiclean arrived right on time once again and stuffed a trailer full quickly. When our cleanup ended and we were heading to our cars, the Forensiclean crews were feverishly loading a 2nd trailer, with the expectation that a 3rd load would be required. The daily haul, estimated at 7,400 pounds, moved the Norwood total past 220,000 pounds!
Thank you to the passionate bunch who has stayed committed to this project, to Forensiclean for their tremendous partnership and to Sacramento Area Creeks Council for feeding the famished volunteers! 💚
