The community is invited to join this year’s GREAT Pittsburg Clean-up of Kirker Creek on Saturday, April 9^th from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM. Each year, a group of dedicated volunteers come together to clean up litter and dumping in a section of our own local Kirker Creek. This year, the clean-up effort is in need of more volunteers. The event builds community, provides an opportunity for wholesome entertainment, and promotes an appreciation for and stewardship of the natural world.

This year, volunteers will meet at Buchannan Park at Yosemite and Harbor Streets at 9:00 AM. Interest participants, particularly groups, are encouraged to help the City plan to supply sufficient gloves and snacks by registering at (925) 252-4114. Volunteers should wear appropriate shoes and clothes for possible wet, muddy conditions.
