Join this community effort and help keep our environment safe, clean, and beautiful!
Since 1986, volunteers for the SLV Annual River & Road Clean Up days have removed tons of trash and recycling from our rivers and roads throughout the San Lorenzo Valley. You’d think our environment would be pristine after these many annual clean-ups! But every year trash accumulates back into our forests and streams, threatening wildlife, ecosystems, and the watershed.

The VWC invites you to join in on the Annual SLV Annual River & Road Clean Up and help in the effort to nurture our mountain habitat!
