It’s Creek Week in Santa Barbara County. The celebration started with Coastal Cleanup Day on Saturday, with volunteers sweeping the state’s beaches for trash.
Plenty more activities are still planned for residents to lend a helping hand to Santa Barbara’s precious waterways. It's not too late to go on a nature walk, hear an educational talk, or volunteer for a cleanup.
“Creek Week offers something for everyone,” the county said in an announcement. Local organizations are hosting numerous events to raise awareness and help “build stewardship of Santa Barbara, Goleta, and Carpinteria’s natural treasures.”
