A cleanup this weekend will target the lower portions of the American River Parkway where homeless campers have left litter.

The American River Parkway Foundation is staging the cleanup on the stretch of land just east of the confluence of the American and Sacramento rivers. The cleanup occurs between Mile 1 and Mile 3 on the parkway.

“It’s been more challenging to control the impact the homeless have had on the parkway, but we want to make sure that the community can come to this area and enjoy its natural resources,” said Dianna Poggetto, executive director of the foundation.
