Let's Go! - Creek Clean Up Day

Mark your calendars for 10:30 am, May 14th. That's when Taiga Trekkers along with the Anchorage Outdoor Family Network will participate in the annual event hosted by the Anchorage Waterways Council as part of the Let's Go - PLAY, SERVE, CELEBRATE initiative sponsored by the Children & Nature Network. We will be meeting at Tikishla Park at the end of 20th and cleaning up along the Chester Creek watershed area. Then meeting at Valley of the Moon park for a picnic with AWC.

The AWC describes the event on there website as this:

"It’s a day where nearly 1,000 volunteers throughout Anchorage put on boots and gloves to clean the trash from local streams and waterways. This effort improves habitat for fish and other critters and helps humans thrive too! 
Each year, volunteers remove several tons of trash. The Anchorage Waterways Council needs folks, families and teams to pitch in and make a difference. Sign up for volunteering here.

Creek CleanupThe effort was organized in 1984 when Mayor Tony Knowles called for a group of citizens to organize around improving the health of creeks. The event  spawned the Anchorage Waterways Council—which still tirelessly protects, restores and enhances the creeks of Anchorage. Anchorage Waterways Council  organizes this event each year through generous financial and inkind donations from the Municipality, the business community, and individuals. "

Hi all,

I maintain the Create-With-Nature Zone at Blake Garden in Kensington, CA. The Zone is open to the public 5 days a week for using natural materials (from the surrounding garden) to be creative in and with nature. I also volunteer to provide semi-structured activities in the Zone for field trip groups that visit the garden. I'm writing to invite any Bay Area group members to get in touch if they want to join me in the Zone, and to invite any group member to get in touch if they want consultation on creating a similar Zone in their area. See links and photo below.

HI, I am in San Diego, CA and I am on a mission to get kids back outdoors and into the world of discover and wonder - that I loved as a child. I am the Executive Director of Camp Fire USA - San Diego & Imperial Counties, and we have a 7 acre day camp of open wooded land in the middle of Balboa Park in the middle of downtown SD. Where we offer traditional summer and holiday day camps, I want to offer an educational program from Sept. through May to school kids (preschool and elementary school). I am researching funding resources to fund the kids from inner-city schools on field trips to learn about nature, conservation, ecology, birds, animals, reptiles and other critters in our local park. My environment is perfect for discovery, and central for all San Diego public schools. These are kids who can not play outdoors, due to dangers in their neighborhoods. If anyone has any ideas on funding resources, to provide scholarships and transportation for these underserved kids - please let me know. Thank you. kzolezzi-campfire@sbcglobal.net.

Well, I don't do specific projects but I run the website http://outdoorbabynetwork and I believe that we support and inspire families to go on adventures, start projects and inspire others to do so.

 

Thank you for the invite
