July 6, 2008 through August 23, 2008 9am-2pm, August 17, 2008. Let's work together to make our watershed as clean and healthy as possible! Trash and debris have collected over the years and YOU can lend a hand to CLEANUP the creeks for our endangered coho salmon.

WHEN: August 17, 9am-2pm
WHERE: Meet at the Lagunitas School parking lot starting at 9am, cleanup will be all along the San Geronimo and Lagunitas Creeks. DIRECTIONS PROVIDED BELOW.

Join us at the Lagunitas School parking lot in front of the new Gym building starting at 9am to receive supplies and instructions, then hike or bike to several sites along San Geronimo and Lagunitas Creek to pick-up trash. SPAWN workers will be in the parking lot all morning directing folks to creek access spots and collecting the full trash bags.

What will we do with all the trash? Make art and recycle! We can transform the collected trash into a sculpture for the Green Note Festival taking place the next weekend, August 23, at the San Geronimo Valley Community Center.

Where exactly will we cleanup? We can safely access the creek at many areas along the San Geronimo and Lagunitas Creeks, and we will provide maps to cleanup teams for access points, safety issues, and property rights issues. We encourage folks to hike, bike, and carpool for this event whenever possible!
