The
American River Parkway has
been described as Sacramento's urban oasis
and the region's jewel.
The American River
Parkway Foundation is a publicly
supported 501 (c) (3) not for profit agency,
which each year coordinates the efforts of
hundreds of volunteers who contribute
thousands of work hours to maintaining and
improving the Parkway. Listed below
are some of their comments:
Outreach
"I can say that (outreach) is fun to do. I
did (tabling) for a couple of hours at our
booth at Earth Day event this past Sunday
and met a lot of folks who are excited about
the Parkway. You sure don't have to sell
them on it....folks walk right up and sign
the volunteer list."

"Wow!! Christy Spoto
and I finally got around to the mile
condition report today and what a wonderful
surprise ... we walked the bike trail, the
equestrian trail, and a few trails down to
the river and did not see any trash along
the approx two and a half miles that we
walked. We have been the stewards of this
mile for --- years, and even though it is
generally pretty clean, this is the first
time that there has been absolutely nothing
to remove!!

Half Marathon
I wanted to let you know that I thought
(Parkway Half Marathon) was a smash!
Well organized, well attended, good vendors,
lots of volunteers, including some from the
FTB BUG. And, you couldn't ask for
better racing weather. I thought it was
perfect.
