Coastal Cleanup, an annual event here in American Canyon, is where we get together as a
community to clean up our parks. This year, I was able to clean up the Wetlands with
another couple of members. This part of American Canyon is such a beautiful and diverse
ecosystem and I’m glad that it is a part of our small town. We found a fort by Glass Beach, a
dried out lake where you could see what was at the bottom (who knew Clorox used to be in
a large, glass jug?), a hawk flying with a snake in its beak, and a wasp that flew in my hair!
We utilized Charity Miles to raise money for March of Dimes + Clean Swell to track which
trash was present so our city can create laws to stop trash build up. Overall we walked about
8 miles + collected over 40 pounds of trash! During this event, I was able to talk to members +
people that I otherwise wouldn’t have, which is super neat, because I love to make new
friends!
