Volunteers are needed to participate in CVSan’s annual Earth Day Clean-Up on Saturday, April 26th. The Earth Day Clean-Up event has brought together between 400 to 700 community volunteers every year to help with projects all around Castro Valley. This year, eleven Castro Valley schools will join the effort in organizing cleanup projects at their campuses with staff, students, and family. There will also be six community site projects with help from event sponsors and community volunteers.

Volunteers work together to beautify school campuses and clean up and enhance Castro Valley’s beautiful parks. Volunteers will be picking up litter, planting native plants, spreading mulch, pulling weeds, and much more. This cleanup is possible with the help of event sponsors: Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program, Alameda County Industries (ACI), Alameda County Resource Conservation District, East Bay Regional Park District, ForestR.org, Friends of San Lorenzo Creek, Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, Pete’s Ace Hardware, and Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley.

Since 1999, CVSan has been coordinating April Earth Day events for Castro Valley, from the early days of the Earth Day Festival and 5K Fun Run to the more recent Earth Day Clean-Up and Recycles Day events.
