Earth Day Trash Pick Up With Kayaks and Paddleboards
Our Annual Earth Day Trash Clean up is on! Since well before we joined the community some 12 years ago Ann Bauer was active in leading San Rafael to a cleaner future.
Her tireless efforts have directly made the San Rafael Canal a far more scenic and clean environment and we had some good times over the years.. Ann's work has helped make the San Rafael Canal a crown jewel for Marin County and we will sorely miss her. Please join us a celebrate Ann and clean up the canal at the same time.
Free Kayak or SUP rental for anyone who will pick up trash while they paddle! Located right on the water, 101 Surf Sports is hosting a water-based cleanup of San Rafael Creek and the Bay. Plastic bags, coffee cups and other litter get carried off city streets, into storm drains and eventually into San Rafael Creek. Help us remove trash from this sensitive creek area which provides habitat for birds and other wildlife.
When: Saturday, April 22, 2023 9:00 a.m start. Clean-up ends at noon.
Where 101 Surf Sports, 115 Third Street, San Rafael, California 94901
