Earth Day Clean-Up

Sacramento residents are encouraged to get outside, connect with their community and help beautify local parks and waterways during a series of citywide volunteer events on Saturday, April 11.

From picking up litter to planting and mulching, these efforts offer a hands-on way to support neighborhood green spaces while getting a head start on Earth Day celebrations.

Events will be hosted from 9 a.m. to noon and are open to individuals, families and community groups. In addition to trash pick-up at all sites, several locations will offer opportunities for planting, mulching, and other landscaping projects.

“Earth Day is a great reminder that small actions can make a big difference in our community,” said Sarah Kolarik, the City’s Sustainability Specialist. “These volunteer events are an opportunity to connect with our neighbors and care for the parks and waterways that make Sacramento a great place to live.”

Among the locations this year, is Matsui Waterfront Park, home to the Hanami Line, here in the River District.
