How to Volunteer

Friends of the Creeks appreciates the assistance of any and all who want to help clean up or enhance our creeks.

Volunteer work days are generally scheduled between March and October except for the butterfly habitat in Civic Park East, which is year round. 

Please contact us through the website to volunteer or to arrange a work day for a group.

We can schedule groups up to 30, depending on the activity and location.  If you are an individual volunteer, we can let you know when the next activity will occur.

Ways you can help:

  • Arundo removal (minimum age 15) -- ongoing
  • Exotic vegetation removal and weeding -- ongoing
  • Trash removal -- Annual Creek Cleanup
  • Advocacy for creek preservation and/or restoration at public meetings -- as necessary

In addition, there are two activities we would like to start if you have a group willing to make a commitment to several volunteer days over the course of a year.  They are GPS mapping and benthic macroinvertebrate (small aquatic creatures) monitoring.
