The 5th Annual Creek Clean-up on October 2, 2010 followed on the
coat tails of last year's event by removing invasive vegetation from
the north side of the Sacramento River Trail, from the Sundial Bridge
to the Market Street bridge. From 8am to noon numerous volunteers
cleared invasive vegetation such as Himalayan Blackberry bushes and
Ailanthus trees using chainsaws, rakes and good old-fashioned sweat
labor. These were fed into chippers to be used a mulch along the trail.
The result is that in many locations you can now view the Sacramento
River from the trail.
