The American River Parkway Foundation (ARPF) submitted a letter to Sacramento County and City of Sacramento demanding that they take action to address the growing concern of illegal camping on the American River Parkway. The environmental and public safety impacts of the growing number of incidents of illegal camping threaten the Parkway’s beauty and sustainability and are a hazard to communities, schools and businesses that border the Parkway as well as Parkway users. This includes growing fire danger, diminished water quality and hazardous materials resulting from intravenous drug use.
