Removing trash not only helps the creek look better it improves the water quality. Trash breaks down and consumes oxygen - leaving less for fish to breath. Your help cleaning up the creek makes a big difference to our creek and to our community.
Did you know that rainwater from the road goes directly into our creeks untreated via the storm drain? Markers help remind people not to dump anything down the drain.
Removing invasive plants maintains and improves the biodiversity of the vegetation along our waterways, limits further invasive plants from spreading downstream, and ultimately improves overall habitat along our interconnected creeks and rivers.
