The
Sierra Mile (Mile 21 South)
Please click on photo to enlarge
Sierra Race Walkers are
the proud stewards of Mile 21 South on the American River Parkway.
Our mile is about half a mile downstream from the Fish Hatchery
at Hazel Avenue (near Highway 50).
2010 CLEANUPS
Spring - April 17
Summer - July 17
Fall - Sept 25
Winter - Dec 11
We will meet at the Nimbus Fish
Hatchery at 9am and clean until noon. Dress in light layers so
you can adjust as the day warms up. Be sure everything you're
wearing can be washed in hot soapy water when you get home. You'll
need to bring work gloves and your own drinking water. We will
provide the garbage bags. We'll go rain or shine (unless the
weather is outright dangerous).
From our first cleanup in 2003 through to the end of 2009, Sierra
Race Walkers and friends contributed 380+ hours of effort to
pull 3,141+ pounds of trash out of our mile. That's more than
A TON! And ours is one of the cleaner miles, can you imagine
how much garbage is still out there?
As Mile Stewards, we have committed
to provide 20 hours of volunteer labor per quarter (80 hours
per year). We need your help!
