February Community Creek Cleanup
Tide promises to be low which will give us access to many sections of the Pinole/Hercules waterfront. Join us at 10 am on Saturday, Feb 21, at Bayfront Park! Keep an eye on the weather, but unless it's raining cats and dogs, we'll still be out there picking up trash! Dress appropriately and be prepared to take pride in your community!
The Long Journey Home
EBMUD Senior Wildlife and Fisheries Biologist and FOPCW Board Member Bert Mulchaey will present "The Long Journey Home, The Perseverance of Steelhead and Their Advocates in the Pinole Creek Watershed" on Tuesday Night February 24 at 6:30pm in the Pinole Library Community Room. Bert will tell of the construction of an amazing fish passage which was completed last fall in the upper watershed.
January Community Creek Cleanup
Come clean up trash behind the library that has been hidden by years of English ivy growth. We may also spend some time sheet mulching or pulling out more of the ivy. Goal is to clear the ivy on the library side of the creek all the way to Pinole Valley Road.
Heavy rain cancels.
December Community Creek Cleanup
Well, for the first time ever, we cancelled a cleanup due to threatened storms. But some intrepid souls refused to take no for an answer and insisted on clearing out trash before rains washed it down into the Bay. So, prepared for anything, we did it! East Bay Coffee invited us to hot drinks after - thanks!
