Dianna Poggetto, the executive director of American River Parkway Foundation was among the volunteers.
“We are so fortunate to have this 4,800-acre, 23-mile waterway in the middle of our urban core that we can ride bikes on, we can kayak, we can horseback ride, all of these things as well as have family picnics, that we don’t want to see that go away,” Poggetto explained.
During the clean-up, Poggetto picked up a used syringe and dropped it into a plastic container.
“So, I’m carrying that, so nobody gets stuck,” Poggetto said.
