Steelhead Crk Trash/Invasive Removal @ San Juan, 6/20/26

We are super excited to continue our ongoing work in Steelhead Creek within the City's forgotten Walter S. Ueda Parkway, upstream of El Camino Bld. We will continue partnering with creek steward Roland Brady, PhD and Friends of Steelhead Creek. Please come out and help us clear the channel for the Salmon
and improve other wildlife habitat by removing trash and invasive vegetation such as Red Sesbania and Aquatic Primrose.
The work site will be on the RIGHT/WEST bank of Steelhead Creek, upstream of the El Camino bridge. We will meet at the levee gate on the NORTHWEST side of Steelhead Creek. PLEASE be on time (early ok) since we have to lock the gate behind us. At 8:30 am SHARP, we will caravan to the cleanup site. Late comers will not be accommodated. Folks that might need to leave early are welcome, but please let us know in advance.
We will continue our attack on trash and debris lining the banks and channel of Steelhead Creek, both new and old, as we work upstream of the El Camino bridge.

AGE LIMIT: This event is not suitable for minors under 14 years old. Minors 14 and older are invited, but must be supervised by a responsible adult during the entire event.
There will be plenty of hard-core badgering (digging out the big stuff), but also lots of easy detail work along the flat floodplain above the creek. We will provide bags, but please bring along your waders and/or sturdy, mud-resistant footwear, grabbers, buckets, and gloves - a limited number of loaner buckets and grabbers may be available. As there is water in the creek and lower floodplain, participants will be required to wear rain boots or waders if they intend to get into the water. Entry into any waters is always optional, but is definitely helpful in this area.
As with all events shared on RCWA, participation is performed solely at your own risk. Please place safety FIRST and do only what you feel comfortable doing. Moreover, participants will be required to sign a Release and Waiver form if they have not done so previously.
Overall, be safe, have fun and get some “Exercise with a Purpose” as Bill Templin says.
Thank you!
