List of Rules:

  • Gloves and closed toe shoes/boots are recommended.

  • Clean during daylight hours only.

  • Please respect PRIVATE PROPERTY, especially gardens and landscape plants. Most of the land along the creeks are PRIVATE. PCEI has secured permission to access private lands for the purpose of cleaning the stream.

  • Pick up garbage and recyclable material that has been littered on the ground and in the stream. Please keep recyclables separate and dispose of accordingly.
