They are hay hooks. We have ordered them from our local hardware store. A feed store would likely also stock them.

@@rivercitywaterwayalliance4646 Thank you!

Thank you for helping our planet!

Trust us, we are working our tails off to have the camp’s moved out of this creek floodplain. The campers discharge their waste directly into the channel and annual high water flows flood the camps and distribute their personal belongings, trash and pathogenic waste downstream. Their presence in this area is a gross violation of local, state and federal laws, yet the City of Sacramento chooses to ignore the problem. The City is currently a defendant in a lawsuit regarding these issues. We are doing everything we can.

Another Arcade Creek at Norwood. No. 14 to be exact. We work in heat or rain , there is no stopping us, RiverCityWaterwayAlliance volunteers rock!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

@@rivercitywaterwayalliance4646 I Iive in Frisco Texas in a wealthy city. We dont have homeless in our area but our rivers are just as bad. Every single rain flushes many tons of garbage from these wealthy communities (from the streets) and it infiltrated the local rivers. I set up a skimmer which is a multi filter 15 foot long catch in a runoff shoot from a local Kroger shopping area which flows into a small creek. It catches over 1 ton a month in garbage. Picking it out of the creek would be well hard as you all know. Homelessness is only part of the problem all though in your work its 90% of problem. 99% of water way trash comes from wealthy communities.

Thank you so much for the support! 🌷

Thank you, we definitely have some strong, resilient volunteers. Our “Creek Fit” slogan is for real. 💪

Yes this is our Creek Fit crew, they are remarkable and I am so proud of them!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💚💚💚💚

Amazing work by our creek fit volunteers. Thank you you all work so hard!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I agree David got some super human strength. I have worked with him and see him in action, also Lisa is a master at shoveling. She is by far one of the strongest, bravest woman in our group.

Because the drugs people are on today doesn’t play into traditional logic and mindsets. Trash cans are dumped, strewn about, lit on fire and thrown into the waterways. These folks are given trash bags and asked to simply put full bags on top of the levee for collection, but very few comply.

@@rivercitywaterwayalliance4646 gotcha, makes sense. Sad all around.

We sure are pressuring them. Every chance we get. We have a new Mayor and a few new City Councilmembers coming in at the end of the year. We are hoping this will tilt the scales in favor of not allowing the continued destruction of our waterways and adjacent corridors.

So true.

That’s was an amazing cleanup, by land or water, our volunteers get it all. Our heroes!💚💚💚👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Yes, that is our goal. Remove it at the source and take aggressive steps to prevent reoccurrence at all. Thank you! 💚

Not “all”, but at least 80-90% at this location. Did you watch our Norwood videos where we cleaned directly behind the camps?

Is this really your only take on this disgusting waterway condition? Did you bother thanking the volunteers for that backbreaking work?! Smh

Thank you! 💚

Thank you so much for your donation. It really goes a long way with RCWA. Without staff, consultants or fluff, every dollar goes to cleaning our waterways. We really appreciate it!!

@@rivercitywaterwayalliance4646 You're welcome. Cheers from the Bay Area.

That’s is our Arcade Creek crew, they are amazing getting so much out of the creek. Thank you !💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💚💚💚💚
