Creek Week Volunteers The typical Creek Week volunteer thinks it's fun to get wet and dirty while doing a good deed. Our loyal repeat volunteers look forward to the annual opportunity to perform community service outdoors, near home, yet in a semi-wild setting. Maybe you'll see some ducks - watch out for the mallard next to you floating in the quiet water. Perhaps a skittish rabbit or even a deer will hop across the open field next to the creek you're working in. Some of the clean-up sites are graced with beautiful wildflower blooms. We hope each volunteer every year has a memorable adventure. Please visit our volunteer sign up page to give us your contact information and find a volunteer coordinator in your part of Sacramento County. Or email us at: ucc@arcadecreekrecreation.com At the celebration after the morning clean up, many people swap stories about their experiences that morning. Unfortunately, reports of some discoveries cause concern. Volunteers might come across homeless encampments, trees that have been killed by escaped illegal campfires, drug paraphernalia, and water that looks and smells polluted. Each of us who cares wants to do something. We hope that you share your stories with others so that more people will be aware of the problems that affect creek health and perhaps change their behavior or get involved. We salute Creek Week volunteers for taking positive action on the clean-up day.
