Want to Give Back? Volunteer to Clean Up Forester Creek

Volunteers are needed this Saturday, June 9 from 9 a.m. to noon to remove trash and debris from Forester Creek.

Huge amounts of mostly plastic trash end up in Forester Creek, an urban waterway that passes through the city of El Cajon before connecting with the San Diego River in the city of Santee.

Groups of all ages are welcome to pitch in and help. The cleanup is sponsored by the Clean and Green Team from the San Diego River Park Foundation.

No experience is necessary. All tools and supplies are provided. You should wear sturdy clothing and, if you have them, waterproof boots. A hat and sunscreen are also recommended.

Volunteers will rendezvous at the city of Santee public works building at 9534 Via Zapador at 9 a.m.

For more information, you can call (619) 297-7380 or email: volunteer@sandiegoriver.org. Details about the event are  posted on the River Park Foundation’s website.
