Castro Valley Creek Cleanup and "Creek Care" Walk

Please come and join us on Saturday, September 15, 2012 from 9:00am - 12:00pm for Coastal Clean-Up Day! We’ll be picking up trash and also walking along the Castro Valley Creek trail, discussing ways to protect the creek, wildlife habitat and the newly established native plants on the banks of the restored creek channel. 

This event is offered as part of the California Coastal Commission's Coastal Clean-Up Day Program that seeks to involve communities in protecting, enhancing and cleaning up our creeks and coastline.  Visit www.coastforyou.org for more information. 

Meet at the Castro Valley Creek trail next to the Castro Valley library (located at 3600 Norbridge Ave.)
