CVSan’s annual Earth Day Clean-Up
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.
For more information and to sign up to volunteer at Earth Day Clean-Up, please visit cvsan.org/ED.

Coastal Cleanup Day at the CV Creek Trail
Be part of the 40th annual Coastal Cleanup Day at the Castro Valley Creek Trail! Volunteers* will participate in a litter pickup along the creek trail and beautify the trail starting from the Castro Valley Library to Castro Valley Creek Blvd.
Volunteers meet at 3625 Castro Valley Boulevard, Castro Valley, CA 94546.
Trash from inland areas, like Castro Valley Creek, flows downstream to the coast and into the ocean. Cleaning upstream riparian areas helps prevent garbage from entering the ocean, protecting birds and other marine animals, while beautifying the environment. Yah!
This effort is part of the statewide Coastal Cleanup Day and made possible by the Alameda County Unincorporated Area Clean Water Program.
To contribute to the statewide litter count, download the Clean Swell App before you arrive and have your trash be part of the California count!
All volunteers must fill out the Coastal Commission’s online waiver and show it upon check in. Please complete the waiver in ENGLISH or SPANISH.
Questions? Please contact Jennifer Trevis at jennifer.trevis@acrcd.org
*Volunteers must be age 10 and up only for safety (even if accompanied by an adult). Volunteers age 14 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.
