Coastal CleanUp Event

SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY COASTAL CLEANUP DAY

Description: Come join the Delta-Sierra Group & First Unitarian Universalist Church of Stockton for the 21st Annual San Joaquin County International Coastal CleanUp Day on Saturday, Sept 20, 2025. This is the state's largest volunteer event. Our rivers and levees are an important part of this effort to protect our planet. Ocean trash is a serious pollution problem that affects the health of people, wildlife and local economies. Even though we are inland, trash travels downstream via inland waterways and storm drains, and then, if not removed, this debris will end up in the ocean.

Cleanup is from 9 am to 12 noon. Attendees should meet at 8:30 am for sign-in and instructions.
Location: Calaveras River at the Northwest corner of Pacific Avenue and Brookside Drive; parking available in the UOP Parking Lot #8--just at the corner of Pacific and Brookside. **https://www.pacific.edu/sites/default/files/users/user243/stkCampusMap.pdf**

Please visit the website to preregister for the event and to print and complete the waiver form. Minors must have signed waivers from their parent or guardian. Registration and waiver forms will also be available onsite, but it will save time if you download and bring the completed waiver form with you.

What to bring: Please wear closed-toe shoes, a hat or visor, and sunscreen. If you can, please bring your own garden gloves, refillable water bottle, and reusable bucket. Disposable gloves, water, and trash bags will be available at the site. We work in teams of two or three.

This is a great educational outing to do with kids or grandkids!
