SLO Land Conservancy Creek Day, September 2007
The Land Conservancy's Creek Day 2007 was a major success!!! It beat previous records set five years ago.
This year had amazing volunteer involvement and incredible amounts of trash collected. A total of 227
volunteers from the community, other organized groups, and of course the amazing AEP Cal Poly Student Chapter
(a dozen of us volunteered), made the number of volunteers double compared to last year. A total of 4 tons
of trash were removed from the creek and about 350 pounds of it is recyclable.
