Putah Creek Spring Cleanup
Saturday April 12, 9:00 am - Noon
The 18th annual Putah Creek Spring Cleanup will take place on Saturday, April 12 from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm at sites in both Davis and Winters. In Davis, volunteers will meet along Putah Creek near Mace Blvd. (directions below) and in Winters volunteers will meet at the Rotary Gazebo outside of the Community Center. This event is a joint project of the Putah Creek Council, City of Davis, City of Winters, Winters Putah Creek Action Team, and Yolo County Public Works.

Complimentary snacks and beverages will be available. Organizers encourage volunteers to bring their own water bottles to reduce disposable cup use. Site captains recommend wearing sunscreen, closed-toe shoes, long pants, hats, and gardening gloves. Trash bags and some gloves will be provided, as well as bulky item removal equipment. No experience is necessary. The Spring Cleanup will offer both easy-access locations at the top of the bank and more challenging areas along sloped banks and in denser vegetation closer to the creek bed. There is plenty of litter to clean up, so bring some friends!
