Celebrate Earth Day by helping clean our urban creeks! Join The Watershed Project and Contra Costa County in North Richmond, and help clean up Wildcat Creek at Verde Elementary School. Learn about local efforts to protect our SF Bay watersheds and wildlife, and reduce plastic in our waterways.
FREE refreshments will be provided as you work hard to clean up our environment! We will supply tools and gloves, but if you have your own pair of gloves and a bucket, please bring them to reduce our use of disposable items. Wear sturdy shoes, a hat and sunscreen, and bring your own reusable water bottle if you have one.
Children must be accompanied by an adult. Minors under 18 require waiver signed by parent or legal guardian. Groups of 10 or more should pre-register; see contact information below for questions about pre-registration or waivers. Print and sign your waiver at home for faster registration.
