Natomas clean-up sites are mostly naturalized vegetated drainage canals instead of natural creeks. You are not likely to encounter poison oak. They are ideal for young children and those with limited mobility.
Please review the checklist to the left to come prepared.
Public clean-up sites in Natomas, North Sacramento and North Highlands are listed below. Review the site descriptions and check the map links to select your site.
Then click the 
button to register.
We ask that all volunteers please complete and bring our volunteer waiverto give to their site leaders. And if you are registering for a group or organization please download our Group Waiver to fill out and hand to your site leader. For some sites, they must also download and complete a Sacramento City waiver.
Your information will be sent to our administrative volunteers who may contact you to confirm your clean-up site location, provide you with additional instructions, or answer any questions you may have. You may be reassigned to a different location as space allows.
Please report at 9:00am sharp on Saturday, April 29th to your confirmed site. Your team leader will provide you with instructions, garbage bags and help get you started.
