Creek to Bay Cleanup

Do more with your morning by volunteering for the 10th Annual Creek to Bay Cleanup, scheduled for Saturday, April 28th from 9AM - 12noon at 75+ coastal and inland cleanup sites countywide.  As coordinators at I Love A Clean San Diego begin the planning process, now is the time to get involved!  Each year, we aim to expand our reach into new communities, and this year, are looking for location suggestions and site captains for the following communities:  Julian, Poway, Alpine, Borrego Springs, Allied Gardens, Point Loma, Hillcrest, and Golden Hill.  If you know of a location in need of volunteers and/or are available to act as a site captain, contact contact Natalie Roberts at 619-704-2773 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Also, if your company or business is community minded, environmentally conscious, and would like to let the community know of your generosity, become a 2012 Creek to Bay sponsor!  ILACSD is seeking out sponsors at a variety of giving levels, making it easy to get involved no matter the size of your business.  More details about levels of giving and associated benefits are available in the 2012 sponsorship packet.  Contact Morgan Justice-Black at 619-704-2772 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you to all supporters and volunteers of 2011's most successful Creek to Bay Cleanup yet!  Last year, 5,350 volunteers spanned out across 75 coastal and inland cleanup sites throughout San Diego County, removing 80 tons of debris.  Not only did these volunteers protect communities countywide, but they additionally prevented marine debris caused by litter that travels from San Diego's creeks, streams and storm drains to the coast where it contaminates our bays and beaches.  In addition to litter removal, volunteers also took part in projects including storm drain stenciling, tree planting, weeding, and graffiti removal.
