The warm temperatures of spring bring waterfalls and wildflowers to the Sierra. Spring also, uncovers all that litter which accumulated under the snow during the winter. The 13th annual Truckee Day on June 4th is an opportunity to clean up a good portion of that litter and make Truckee sparkle again. It is also a time to enjoy the springtime by getting out and playing with your neighbors.
Truckee Day is a town-wide clean up and civic pride day. Volunteers spend their morning joining an estimated 500 other folks making their town look cleaner. Then the afternoon is spent being festive at the the Truckee River Regional Park where a BBQ and community expo will be happening. Volunteers get a T-shirt and free lunch ticket.
“It’s a really special day because it brings the whole community together. It celebrates community and cleans up the beautiful place we live in,” says event coordinator Erica Jue, Recycling Coordinator for the Town of Truckee. For information on the event contact Erica at 582-2909. www.truckeeday.org
In addition to cleaning up garbage, you could also lend a hand to the community by becoming a Weed Warrior with the Truckee River Watershed Council. While council representative Jeannette Halderman hopes some invasive weeds get removed, the real goal is to educate the public on what weeds are invasive and causing problems in the region. For information on the weed warrior program contact Jeannette at 550-8760 x 6.
