Events

March 10th, 9:00AM
Teichert Ponds (behind Kohls) 
Our creeks support a variety of beautiful and beneficial plants and animals. Not only does this space become unsightly when trash is left lying around, but the plants and animals who live here suffer. It also severely degrades water quality. Let's clean it! Let's give back to our community! Let's have cleaner waterways!

Coffee will be provided by Beatniks Coffeehouse and snacks will be provided by Chico Natural Foods. >Info
