2022 Putah Creek IDR Cleanup Day Success!

It was a beautiful day to get out and do some GOOD!

Thank you to the almost 30 volunteers who came out to spruce up our home water. It was great to meet new faces and introduce them to the Interdam Reach. Some larger items such as tires, an 80 gallon steel drum, and a chair were removed from the riparian area. Steve Karr reported that the cleanup netted approximately 800 pounds of garbage and 100 pounds of recyclables.

As they say, many hands make the work easy and we wrapped up with three hours. Continue to do your part to keep the creek clean –

1. Pack out your trash (including your line cuttings)
2. Consider grabbing some trash on your hike back to your vehicle
3. If it’s in the creek – move it onto the bank to make it easier to remove later
4. let us know if there are larger items that need to be removed
