Creek Side Clean Up
The results for the September 15th 2007 Coastal Clean up effort along our local creeks can be viewed at the Creek Connection Action Group internet site. Morgan Hill had two local clean up sites at Edmundson Creek (site #18) and Llagas Creek (site #19). The total effort from 24 sites around the bay area yielded over 31,000 pounds of garbage!
The next creek clean up effort is the 2008 National River Cleanup on Saturday, May 17th 2008. Volunteers are always needed!
