Protecting Watersheds in Santa Clara Valley

Preventing stormwater pollution creates a healthy place to live, work, and play

National River Cleanup Day hosted by Watershed Watch Campaign

Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 16th for our first-ever Cleanup & Connect at📍Gill Memorial Park. In partnership with the Creek Connections Action Group and the City of Milpitas, we’re coming together for more than just a litter pick-up. Come to clean up, enjoy a zero-waste picnic & meet new friends. This is an opportunity for community stewardship, rooted in our shared conviction that “any amount of litter is too much litter.”

Launched in 2000, the Watershed Watch Campaign is a public education initiative of the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (SCVURPPP).

Watershed Watch raises awareness about protecting our watersheds from stormwater pollution. Our website provides free resources to help residents prevent pollution at home and in their communities, which also protects local creeks and the Bay. Watershed Watch focuses on reducing harmful pollutants including pesticides, mercury, heavy metals, and trash, and promoting sustainable practices in our watersheds. We partner with media, public agencies, businesses and community organizations to broaden our reach in the community.
