Delta Waterway Cleanups
The Delta Conservancy participates in and helps organize cleanup events to educate and promote awareness of the importance of protecting and improving water quality in the Delta. The trash that flows into the Delta is a serious water pollution problem for both humans and wildlife. At the Delta Waterway Cleanups, volunteers actively participate in water stewardship practices by cleaning up trash and preventing it from reaching waterways and, ultimately, the ocean.

Creek Week
Creek Week, a 30-year tradition in Sacramento County, was re-envisioned in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
You can stay involved by checking the Creek Week website for ways to take action year-round to protect our creeks and rivers. We can all make a difference by practicing random acts of cleanup! Taking action to remove trash from our waterways promotes creek health and benefits our Delta region!
