2012 Spring Clean Up - Saturday, April 21st (9am - 12noon)

American River Parkway FoundationThe mission of the American River Parkway Foundation is to support the preservation, protection, enhancement, and appreciation of the American River Parkway by fostering environmental stewardship, facilitating volunteer opportunities, and funding and implementing Parkway projects and programs.

As a part of this mission we conduct the annual Earth Day Spring Clean Up.  We need your support for this very worthy event.  Click here to register as a clean up volunteer.

participating without your parent, please bring a signed

Participation in the Earth Day Spring Clean Up is a real contribution to the health of the Parkway and river. Removing trash and debris prevents pollutants from entering the watershed, harming the wildlife, or creating hazards for recreational users. Additionally, keeping the Parkway clean protects ocean life by preventing trash from being washed downstream during the winter rains.

NOTES:
1. When you arrive at your clean up site please follow the signs to the "River Clean Up" station where you will check in. 
2. Volunteers under 18 must bring a completed parental/guardian consent form in order to participate.
3. Please wear long pants/shirts, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, and a hat.
4. Click here to review the Safety Guidelines.  Please read then prior to volunteering.

For more information please do not hesitate to contact the ARPF office at (916) 486-2773, or send email to volunteer@arpf.org.
