Lunch will be provided for volunteers, along with a milkweed seedling (milkweed helps draw Monarch butterflies!). Useful items to bring include gardening gloves, trowels, pruners, hats, sunscreen, and water bottles.

Adopt a Drain!

Help San Leandro keep drains clean and avoid localized flooding! San Leandro has approximately 2,200 storm drain inlets that can become clogged with litter and leaf debris throughout the year. This can lead to localized flooding during the rainy season, and also contamination of San Leandro Creek and the San Francisco Bay. San Leandro residents and businesses can help the City and their neighborhoods prepare for rainstorms by adopting one or more drains near their home or business. It doesn't take much to keep a storm drain clear. A monthly commitment to check the drain and remove the debris on top goes a long way in helping Public Works maintain the drains to reduce flooding and prevent pollution of our waterways.

Sign up here to adopt a drain and get a free tool: https://www.sanleandro.org/adoptadrain

A raffle prize will be sent to randomly selected volunteers in the Adopt A Drain program at the end of the storm season in the late spring.
