Creek Steward

The Sacramento Urban Creeks Council awarded the first Creek Steward Award in 1996 to Dillard Elementary School for their stewardship and study of wetlands adjacent to their Wilton school. We have presented the award annually ever since. Any school or youth group in the Sacramento area using creeks as part of their curiculum are eligible for the award. We have given out awards to elementary classrooms as well as high schools.

Junk & Gunk

The Junk and Gunk contest may be the shortest annual art exhibit in Sacramento. Creek cleaners select inspiring pieces of trash and bring them to the Celebration, working in teams to create art for all to enjoy until 2:00p.m., when the sculptures are dismantled and tossed into the dumpster. The artists enthusiastically compete for Junk and Gunk Prizes.
