Join us for National Rivers Day at Damon Slough in the Martin Luther King Jr. Shoreline where we are helping to clean up this Bay Trash Hot Spot as part of a nationwide campaign for healthy waterways! As the winner of our Adopt-a-Spot contest, we will be hosting a series of cleanups at Damon Slough – and this waterway needs it! With trash from the nearby Oakland Coliseum complex, the flea market and surrounding streets draining into this waterway, this sensitive slough is often inundated with trash. This is your chance to pitch in and pick up at this East Bay gem!

The spring bloom is upon us, so now is the time to come out and see all the lovely colors popping up around the Bay. California poppies, marsh gum plant and sticky monkey flower are just a few of the fabulous flora blanketing our shores. Unfortunately, this also means we have plenty of mustard and radish blooming too. So help us pull these pesky invasive plants before they go to seed.

Do you know how many women started Save The Bay? Can you list the major functions of wetlands or name one animal that relies on our hard work to thrive?

If not, we invite you to come out and learn! Volunteers will help us remove invasive species while our project leaders teach the importance of wetland restoration.
