Please join us for a community cleanup along the San Gabriel River on Sunday, May 31st, 8 am to 12 pm. Come early or later. Stay for as long as you can.
Your participation will not only divert trash from our oceans but also bring much-needed awareness to the sea turtle habitat now thriving along the river. Together we can make a significant impact in keeping our waterways clean and healthy for all to enjoy!
