The American River Parkway Foundation says the Parkway spans across 23 miles and is used by around 8 million people a year. They say homelessness along the river is putting this natural treasure in jeopardy.
“Just last Saturday during the Great American River Clean-Up more than 1,300 volunteers removed almost 41,000 pounds of trash from the Parkway, including hypodermic needles, other drug paraphernalia as well as trash and human waste.”
