The American River Parkway Foundation invites the community to take part in our Great American River Clean-Up on Saturday, September 19th 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. 

Go beyond just picking up trash at GARCU! We’re rolling up our sleeves to pull invasive plants, repaint picnic tables, remove unsightly graffiti, pick up trash and complete beautification projects that truly conserve the Parkway for everyone to enjoy.
