Full Description:

On September 30th , from 9 am- 12 noon, Nipomo Community Services District is sponsoring a community cleanup of Nipomo Creek and Olde Towne as part of “SLO Creek Day 2006”. Please join us to volunteer for a few hours to get to know your neighbors and improve your neighborhood creek. If you would like to participate, please check in at 9 am at the Adobe Plaza on East Tefft Street. You will be assigned to a creek cleaning team, provided with a map to your creek site, trash bags, and gloves. This is the first time the creek cleaning event will be held countywide. All major watersheds from Nipomo to Paso Robles will have cleanups occurring on the same day. Our local watersheds contain debris which has blown into the creeks or has been dumped there illegally. Fall is an important time to remove trash from the creeks, before winter storms arrive and wash the debris downstream, causing flooding and health problems, and eventually reaching the ocean. Creek Day is a great way to improve the beauty of our county, while sending a message that this type of pollution is not acceptable in our communities. Please call Madonna Dunbar, Conservation and Compliance Specialist with Nipomo Community Services District at 805-929 -1133 or go to www.creekday.org for additional information. We hope to see you there! Sept 30 is Nipomo Creek Day
