If you love your levee -- and who doesn't? -- Saturday is your chance to show it.

For the fourth year, volunteers are being asked to pick up trash along the Sacramento River levee and Garcia Bend Park in the city's Pocket neighborhood. Last year's "Love Your Levee Clean-up" event drew 70 volunteers.

Once the trash is picked up, it will be hauled away by city workers. Staffers from the Utilities Department and the Department of Parks and Recreation also will be on hand to tell volunteers how cleaning up the levees lessens erosion and helps preserve natural areas.

The clean-up is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to noon. Volunteers are asked to meet at Garcia Bend Park, 7654 Pocket Road.
