Event Description:
Litter is a pervasive problem throughout the city, and Walnut Creek Wetland Park is no exception. Instead of devoting one day to the Earth this month, we will have a series of cleanup events! This particular event is geared towards teens. Need service hours? Just want to make the earth a better place? This one is for you!

Impact:
We cannot do this all alone. Your help is helping to not only beautify the park, but to create a more sustainable ecosystem.

Volunteer Duties:
Removing litter from the wetland, and possibly from within the creek. Boots will be provided.

Work Environment:
We will be outdoors. Work will be physical on uneven terrain. There is a restroom on site.
