Cleanups Accomplished

Corralitos Creek Cleanup

November 8, 2023

On Nov. 8, we joined forces with several organizations, including the County of Santa Cruz, Community Development and Infrastructure, Watsonville Works, Trash Talkers, Watsonville Wetlands Watch, the City of Watsonville, and the Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project to tackle a cleanup effort along Corralitos Creek, located on Airport Boulevard across from Safeway.

Our collective efforts resulted in the removal of over 25,000 pounds of trash, building upon an earlier cleanup organized by the Monterey Bay Salmon & Trout Project on Oct. 28. Our primary objective is to restore the waterway’s natural flow and prevent further pollution. We are grateful to all who participated in this initiative, helping to safeguard our environment for future generations.
