How-To
Traditional Sacramento Area Creeks Council Creek Week clean-up sites are shown on the map.
Sacramento Area Creeks Council encourages communities and stewardship groups in Sacramento County to organize their own creek clean-ups. We can help you get started by supplying how-to information and equipment.
Random Acts of Clean-up
Find a partner and pick up some garbage
Dates: Any day you choose.
Check our volunteer pages for suggested creek spots or choose somewhere near your home that could use some trash clean-up. Now the rains have started, clean-ups are restricted to trails and developed areas. Creek banks are unsafe during the rainy season.
Registration not required
Report your clean-up results and receive a Creek Week thank you!
