Keep an extra eye out for volunteers and Caltrans cleaning up their communities over the next 10 days for Clean California Community Days - Spring into Action!
District 2: Clean California Community Days – Spring Into Action! has begun! As part of the $1.1 billion Clean California initiative, 45 groups made of 458 volunteers will be cleaning up their communities in District 2. Part of Clean California Community Days — Spring Into Action, the effort will have participants safely remove trash and other debris from trashed locations in Northern California. March 25 is the main event day; marked by Clean California Community Days Festival in Redding and several dump days all over the district.
Community day activities include clean-ups, tree and native seed planting events, a family educational fair in Redding, school and library presentations, and various dump day events in Siskiyou, Tehama, and Trinity County. See Caltrans District 2 on Facebook for details about these events. Please view our Facebook event page closely in March, as we will add these events to our calendar as details are confirmed.
