Creek Week Volunteer Opportunities
Throughout the Russian River watershed, the third week of September is recognized as Creek Week. This year Creek Week is from September 15 to September 22. During Creek Week, creek, river and ocean clean-up campaigns will take place throughout Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. The Russian River watershed consists of over 150 creeks which provide water supply, wildlife habitat, flood capacity and recreation. Unfortunately, trash and debris accumulation in local waterways impair water quality, wildlife habitat and, at times, recreation and flood capacity. This is a great opportunity to take part in activities that connect you with your community and environmental practices that help protect our creeks.
You can contribute to the health of the Russian River ecosystem by participating in one of the creek and river cleanup events listed below!
