Creek to Bay Cleanup Day: Coastal Cleanup the Napa Way

Saturday, September 16th, 2006 from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m.

This year’s Creek to Bay Cleanup Day in Napa County is part of the 22nd Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day, a statewide effort coordinated by the California Coastal Commission, to clean trash and debris from 1,100 miles of the California coast as well as another 1,000 miles along the inland shorelines of bays, creeks, rivers, and lakes throughout California. The event is also part of the International Coastal Cleanup, a worldwide event organized by The Ocean Conservancy. All 50 states and over 90 countries take part in the International Cleanup, making this effort the largest marine-related volunteer event in the world.

In Napa County last year, 400 volunteers collected 4,280 pounds of trash and 1,130 pounds of recyclables from Napa County’s waterways!

Help us reach this year’s goal of 500 volunteers, by coming out to one of the cleanup sites listed below on September 16th, 2006 from 9 to noon. For more information about the event, contact Jenny McIlvaine at the Napa County Resource Conservation District at 252-4188 ext. 120 or jenny@naparcd.org.
