Northern Bikeway Cleanup
October 24 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Please join the Sacramento Area Creeks Council (SACC), City of Sacramento, and River District for a Saturday volunteer cleanup as we work together to restore and protect the Northern Bikeway and surrounding river corridor.
We’ll be back along the Northern Bikeway on the south side of the American River, tackling areas that have unfortunately become heavily impacted by litter and abandoned campsites again. Thanks to dedicated volunteers and our partners, these areas have made remarkable progress over the years—and your help is critical to keeping that progress going.
Meet near: 1633 Dreher Street, Sacramento
Please arrive by 8:45 AM for check-in. We’ll caravan to the cleanup area and begin at 9:00 AM.
