Join Protect American River Canyons
and California State Parks and Recreation for our annual clean-up
of the American River Canyons in the Auburn State Recreation
Area on Saturday, September 21 from 8:00 am to 1:00pm. We
will meet at the curved bridge in the Confluence Area near
the Highway 49 crossing of the American River three miles
south of Auburn. |

This year's clean-up will focus on the proposed American
River Confluence Parkway, especially the area beneath the
Auburn-Foresthill bridge. This area is a chronic clean-up
problem and safety hazard for people recreating on the river
and trails below the bridge. PARC is working to have the
fines increased for those caught throwing trash from the
bridge. Volunteers are also encouraged to clean-up upper-Clementine,
Ponderosa Way, Yankee Jims and Highway 49 from Auburn to
the Confluence.
Check in at the PARC information booth to register and receive
your free map of the Confluence area trails, trash bags
and free beverage.
Please remember:
Wear sturdy shoes. Bring gloves, sunscreen, water and a
lunch. Try out an
inflatable kayak at the post clean-up party at the Confluence.
