2022 Earth Day & Day of the Child
Earth Day & Day of the Child is a yearly festival in Watsonville to celebrate our youth and share knowledge, resources, and cultural inspiration and to inspire our community to be lovers and protectors of the earth and all it has to give us.

Community Cleanups
The main goal of this program is to work with (you) the community in your chosen area to cleanup and identify ways to reduce litter pollution on the streets from going into the storm drains and ending up in our waterways. Unlike the sewer lines connected to households and businesses, storm drains go directly to the wetlands, creeks, rivers, and ocean without being treated first.
