The 4500-square-foot garden we planted last fall is taking off! Unfortunately, so are the weeds. Please join us for a couple hours to help our young plants survive and thrive! Bring water and sun protection--also gardening gloves and weeding tools if you have them.

About Friends of Concord Creeks

Location:

2866 Bowling Green Drive, Walnut Creek, CA 94598, US

Mission Statement

​Friends of Concord Creeks (FCC) is an all-volunteer group dedicated to conserving and restoring creeks and natural areas throughout our city. ​

Description

Friends of Concord Creeks was formed in the spring of 2022 under the auspices of the Walnut Creek Watershed Council. (This refers to the creek, not the city.) In addition to creek cleanups and plantings, we have three major projects starting in early 2024:

  • Water Quality Monitoring: FCC is implementing monthly monitoring at seven sites along Galindo Creek and other waterways, measuring indicators of creek health such as temperature, levels of nitrates and phosphates, etc.
  • Pollinator Gardens: FCC will be planting pollinator-friendly gardens. The first site, along Holbrook Channel near Pixieland Amusement Park, has already been identified and approved by the city.
  • Arundo Removal:Arundo donax, an extremely invasive bamboo-like plant, is a common site along Galindo and other Concord creeks. FCC plans to begin an arundo removal program in April.
