Get up early tomorrow to clear brush from our nearby Sausal Creek parks, and join a worldwide movement!  The International Coastal Cleanup takes place in all 50 states and 90 countries, to maintain or restore waterways everywhere.

Oakland supports this global event by declaring its very own Creek to Bay Day, with 20-plus projects scattered throughout the city.

Montclarions can help restore the Sausal Creek Watershed (map), which starts in our hills and ends in the Bay.

There are three local parks where you can lend a hand on Saturday.  Even though you may have driven by them many times, take a few minutes and learn more about these places:

• Beaconsfield Canyon:  Beaconsfield Place & Keswick – fire hazard
• Marj Saunders Park:  Ascot near Chelton – park dedication, poem
• Shepherd Canyon:  Escher trailhead – corridor, plan, sink holes

Just show up at one of the parks tomorrow, and be ready to work from 9:00 am – 12:00 noon.  In return, you will be given a nice tee shirt along with psychic rewards.
