Looking for a simple way to make a big impact in your community?

Join volunteers around the country for National River Cleanup Day on May 16th. Spend three hours along a local creekbank, removing trash at organized sites, and walk away leaving a cleaner creek for our neighborhoods and our wildlife.

Cleanup equipment is provided by local agencies, including litter grabber sticks, trash bags, and gloves. One local site, along San Tomas Aquino Creek between Quito Rd. and Westmont High School, is sponsored by the City of Campbell, Town of Los Gatos, City of Monte Sereno, and City of Saratoga, through their stormwater pollution prevention program: West Valley Clean Water Program.

To learn more about the event, and this site, and to register, go to: www.cleanacreek.org

All youth under 18 need supervision and transportation to their cleanup sites.

They must also download a waiver form at http://www.cleanacreek.org/volunteerinformation.asp

and complete the waiver prior to arriving, to expedite signing in.

(You do NOT need to print out the registration ticket; your name will be on the list at check-in.)

Please bring your own water bottle (backup water will be available for those who run out).

Thank you for caring about our creeks and the Bay!
