About

Oakland Creek to Bay Day is part of California and International Coastal Cleanup Day, the largest volunteer day in California and the world! Projects include litter removal, habitat restoration, urban greening, and beautification. Many Creek to Bay Day projects occur in creeks and along shorelines, though off-water sites are equally important for protecting waterways.
