You may not realize it, but some of our local creeks contain trash and debris that has blown into the creek or has been dumped there illegally. Creek Day is a great way to protect wildlife and improve the beauty of our county, while sending a message that this type of pollution is not acceptable.

Creeks provide important habitat for fish, amphibians, birds and other wildlife. A healthy creek is an abundant natural resource, but trash and debris can harm and even kill local wildlife.

Fall is an important time to remove trash from our creeks, before rain from winter storms arrive and wash debris into our oceans. Thus, cleaning our creeks can improve our environment and keep us, our children, and wildlife safe.  

Throughout SLO County, Creek Day offers each of us an opportunity to take action to remove harmful trash and debris. See you on Creek Day!
