Hello, Stewards, In addition to our monthly clean-ups of the UU Mile, we have a special ANNUAL event taking place at the same location this Saturday:

Great American River Clean-Up (GARCU) Sat., 9/17/22 9am-12pm

The American River Parkway Foundation (ARPF) states on its website:

“GARCU is the American River Parkway Foundation’s largest annual clean-up event and is held on California Coastal Clean-up Day in concert with the California Coastal Commission. For nearly 40 years, [ARPF] has invited the community to take part in this statewide movement that mobilizes tens of thousands of volunteers throughout California to clean up trash from local beaches, lakes and waterways. In past years, up to 2,100 local volunteers have come out to help remove debris from multiple areas along the river, highlighting what the American River Parkway is, the greatest civic amenity in this region.”

Won’t you come join us this coming Saturday from 9am to noon to participate in GARCU with other UUSS Parkway Stewards at the Northrop Ave. access for this important annual event to clean up our Parkway.

Looking forward to seeing you soon,
Eric Ross, Mile Steward
