The American River Parkway Foundation invites the community to take part in our Great American River Clean-Up on Saturday, September 19 from 9 AM to 12 PM.

The Great American River Clean-Up (GARCU) is ARPF’s largest annual volunteer event and is held on California Coastal Cleanup Day in concert with the California Coastal Commission. Whether you’re an individual, group, family, corporation, or high school student, we welcome you to come together and make a difference.

We’re rolling up our sleeves to pick up trash, lay mulch, repaint picnic tables, and complete beautification projects that truly conserve the Parkway for everyone to enjoy.
