Redwood Shores Annual Levee Clean Up

You CAN make a difference… help CLEAN UP the Shores!

Saturday, August 27, 8:00am – noon

Mariner Park

This is a great opportunity to get outside, enjoy some of Redwood Shores’ beautiful summer weather, and help to clean up and beautify Redwood Shores’ levees for the benefit of all of Redwood City. Each year, dozens of excited volunteers remove tons of debris including tires, wood, rubbish, and the typical flotsam and jetsam that accumulates. Every piece of refuse removed is important, no matter how small!

The levee cleanup day is a fun and meaningful volunteer community event that helps the environment, and helps to beautify Redwood Shores. And for non-Redwood Shores volunteers, it’s a great opportunity to learn about the beauty of the Redwood Shores levees, enjoy the sight of a variety of wildlife, and experience incredible views of the bay.

Coffee, juice & bagels will be available at 8:30 AM before assignments are doled out. After the cleanup, a free barbecue for the volunteers will be served at Mariner Park, as a small ‘thank you’ for helping to beautify and enhance this important Redwood City resource.

Just bring gloves & wear good work shoes… everything else will be provided.

Thank You From RSCA for Levee Clean-Up Day 2010

For helping to keep Redwood Shores a beautiful and welcoming place to enjoy, the Redwood Shores Community Association thanks all of those who attended the 2010 Levee Clean-Up Day. There was a tremendous turnout for this worthwhile event, and together everybody worked hard to make a difference.

On Saturday, August 28, more than 100 residents of Redwood Shores (and a few from mainland Redwood City) turned out to clean up more than 10 cubic yards of trash from the public areas of Redwood Shores. The event was sponsored by the Redwood Shores Community Association.

Beginning at 8:30 A. M. with a bagel breakfast prepared by the San Mateo Credit Union, partially sponsored by Starbucks and featuring sweet rolls and bagels, the crews of volunteers spread out throughout the shores. Tools were provided by the City of Redwood City. By morning end, dozens of bags of trash had been collected. Trash was picked up by Recology. The San Mateo Credit Union sponsored a hot dog/hamburger lunch with all the trimmings. Our barbeque chef was Under Sheriff Carlos Bolanos. A good time was had by all.
