12th Annual River Rally-Sept 30th

Full Description:

Come help clean a portion of Newhall Creek, a tributary of the Santa Clara River, one of the last natural rivers in Southern California. Be a part of the solution for a better environment by helping to preserve the river's natural beauty and variety of wildlife. To date, thousands of volunteers have collected over 230,000 pounds of trash and debris from the Santa Clara River and its tributaries! Gloves, collection bags, and refreshments are provided and a commemorative gift will be given to volunteers for helping out. Visit the Environmental Expo, with over 20 vendors, and learn about recycling, air quality, pollution prevention, open space preservation, wildlife conservation and much more! This is an excellent volunteer opportunity for Scout troops, youth groups, and the entire family! Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes (NO SANDALS) and appropriate clothing for walking in the riverbed, sunscreen, and a hat. Pets should be left at home because they are not permitted to participate. Carpooling, biking and walking are highly encouraged as parking space is limited. For more information on River Rally, please call (661) 286-4098.
