🍂 Keep Our Storm Drains Clear This Fall! 🍂
Fallen leaves can clog storm drains, leading to street flooding and pollution in our waterways. Please adopt the storm drain near your home and keep it clear of leaves, trash, and debris. It’s easy and impactful!

Thanks to all of the amazing volunteers who participated in this year’s 40th California Coastal Cleanup Day! Our site in Campbell was fortunate to have had 35 volunteers remove 1,000 pounds of trash along ¼ mile of the Los Gatos Creek! Special thanks to the @CityofCampbell.
