The Feather River Chapter of Trout Unlimited (TU) both supports and requests TU members participate in the Butte Enviromental Council annual clean up!

Please register with Butte Environmental Council and come by our Feather River Chapter, Trout Unlimited table.

In conjunction with the California Coastal Cleanup Day, the annual Bidwell Park and Chico Creeks Cleanup is an event dedicated to improving the water quality in riparian corridors and aquatic ecosystems within our community by working together to remove trash and other harmful pollutants before the winter rains wash debris downstream.

Registration and check in begins at 8:30am on Saturday, September 19th at Hooker Oak Park, 1928 Manzanita Ave.

Here is what you can expect at check in at Hooker Oak Park:

Participants will receive their free unique event t-shirt *only available to the first 350 volunteers
Borrow cleanup materials
Receive a cleanup location/assignment of their choosing
Have a safety briefing
From there, volunteers will head out to their cleanup site. At the site, participants will scour the landscape for all types of trash, hauling all of the removed items back to the nearest dumpster location: Hooker Oak Park or the City of Chico Municipal Parking Lot.
- Large bulky items will be retrieved by participants calling the BEC dispatch center for a pick up, where special core volunteers or even the City Public Works department are directed to assist with removal. Participants can collect their items in bags which can be dropped off at the dumpsters located at Hooker Oak Park.
