FAQs:
- Are there age limits for participating in the Cleanup?
This event is best for adults, teens and children over age 10 because the creekbanks are steep in many places, and the water depth can vary. The minimum age is 7; parents should honestly assess the abilities of children under 10. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Less agile adults can contact us about working at the registration table. - How do I contact the organizer with other questions?
Send questions to contact@friendsofthecreeks.org - Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? ~ Yes, we will use it for registration.
- What if I arrive LATE to Civic Park?
You may lose out completely if you're late. The participants are divided into crews that leave Civic Park with leaders that take them to several different parts of the creek in the downtown area. You need to arrive on time to be assigned to a crew and receive the safety instructions. Everyone will be gone from the park by 9:15. - How do I cancel this registration if I can't come after all?
The confirmation email you receive after registering contains a "MANAGE" link by which you can cancel your registration. This will allow someone else to attend in your place. Thank you for taking time to cancel if you cannot attend. - How do I get another copy of my registration and ticket? ~ Use the Resend Confirmation button at the very bottom of this page.
This new group is advocating for alternatives to single-use, creek-polluting plastic straws.
