Volunteer in your community!
Here at Solano RCD we believe that people learn and understand the value of environmental stewardship best when they can actively participate in real projects that transform the landscapes in which they live. Solano RCD offers a number of opportunities for enthusiasts and students alike! For students, opportunities like these are critical for inspiring the next generation of conservationists, developing our youth's personal connections to the land, and building connections between having fun in the great outdoors and a personal stewardship ethic.
Getting outside and getting your hands dirty provides immediate, real-life involvement in conservation and supports us in getting the job done. Through propagating plants, removing weeds, planting natives, and attending community cleanups, our volunteers get to know their communities better while having a real, positive impact on helping the environment!
Volunteer for this year's cleanup events!
Join us at 10am at Ledgewood Creek in Fairfield for our monthly volunteer day! We'll be caring for native vegetation along the creek and removing trash from the waterway so that our local birds, fish, and amphibians can thrive. Meet us at 2299 Auto Mall Parkway, near the Home Depot and DVM. Coffee and refreshments will be provided. Contact David Vigil for more information! World Environment Day is a global campaign that was initiated over 50 years ago! This year's theme is Solutions to Plastic Pollution. Here at the RCD, we celebrate World Environment Day with a cleanup effort and Lake Berryessa and Lake Solano. Join us! Click here to register. For more information visit cleanupsolano.org or the World Environment Day website. Every year on the third Saturday of September, Coastal Cleanup occurs with volunteers across the plant gathering to pick up trash and recyclables to help protect our coastlines, oceans, and waterways. As a global event, Coastal Cleanup Day is the largest volunteer effort in California and the world! To find out more visit cleanupsolano.org or the California Coastal Commission.
