Adopt-a-Spot & Adopt-a-Creek You can adopt a portion of a local waterway through the Flood Control District's Adopt-a-Spot and Adopt-a-Creek programs. Adopting part of the waterway can be an extremely rewarding experience, as you take an active role in preserving our natural environment. Of course, adoption also comes with responsibilities. Individuals or groups can meet the challenge at a specific location by:
The District provides free trash bags and trash disposal, gloves, and orange safety vests. Participating in Adopt-a-Spot or Adopt-a-Creek is easy. First, select and map a portion of the waterway of interest. Then, contact the Flood Control District at 510-670-5501. An Adopt-a-Spot coordinator will review your selection. If the location is not already taken, and if the area is deemed safe for volunteer workers, the spot can be adopted. Applications and permits are renewed annually. Volunteers must apply for the free permit, then review and follow District safety and notification requirements. Volunteer efforts are rewarded with recognition signs near the selected site.
