Outdoor Social Club: Riverside Cleanup and Summertime Swim

Sunday, July 30, 2023

Frank Hunter McKee Memorial Park, Potter Valley

9:30 AM – 11:30 AM

The big coastal cleanup day isn’t till September, but a popular Russian River spot near Potter Valley could use a little TLC. (Trash+litter collection!)

Join the MLT Outdoor Social Club, and guest star/old friend Amy Wolitzer, to enjoy a morning at this beautiful creek locale and leave it a lot nicer than we found it. 

This is a great spot to look for creatures that depend on our waterways even as people recreate. From benthic macroinvertebrates to birds to amphibians, we are sure to find some interesting stuff! We will bring some nets and magnifiers so we can look closely at what we find. 

Please wear sturdy footwear like hiking boots or running shoes during the cleanup. You are encouraged to bring sandals or water shoes and a towel and swimwear if you want to cool off in the creek afterwards. 

Frank Hunter McKee Memorial Park, sometimes called McKee Parkway, is a 25-acre park that follows the east fork of the Russian river. It’s a 16-minute drive from Ukiah and a 30-minute drive from Willits. Meet at the first parking area on Potter Valley road just off highway 20.
