Annual Creek Clean-up

2008 marks the 3rd annual Creek Clean-up in the greater Redding area! This year's event brings us back to Churn Creek, first cleaned-up in 2006 when 50 tons of debris were pulled from the creek, its banks, and several tributaries by over 700 volunteers. Trash has been spotted in Churn Creek once again, so the Community Creek Clean-up Action Group is back to pull it out!

This year we will also clean out Clover Creek from Highway 44 down to the Sacramento River. This small, but vital waterway courses through east Enterprise, pauses in the Clover Creek Preserve, then winds its way south under Knighton Road, Meadow View Drive and eventually to the River at the Airport Road bridge. The Clover Creek floodplain is wide open in many places which, though beautiful in the spring time, provides easy access for illegal dumping. Please help us restore both of these important east Redding creeks! creek photo

Many opportunities are available for volunteers to assist, including trash pick-up, vegetation removal, hauling of debris and other vital roles. Families are encouraged to participate and lunch will be provided after the event.
