Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed is happy to announce the
final results of our successful Martin Luther King Day of
Service project.
•We had 12 sites in partnership with the Cities of Oakley and
Brentwood, Oakley Unified School District, East Bay Regional
Park District and Save Mount Diablo.
•We had a total of 443 volunteers between all 12 sites.
•There were 8 sites in Oakley- 3 OUSD campuses and
surrounding neighborhoods, 1 at EBRPD Big Break Shoreline
Regional Park site and 4 city parks and surrounding
neighborhoods. A total of 256 volunteers came out to pick up 3
tons of trash and spread 12 cubic yards of mulch.
•There were 3 sites in Brentwood- 1 park site and 2 native
garden sites. A total of 157 volunteers came out to spread
aproximately 35 cubic yards of mulch, pick weeds from about
2000 linear feet of native gardens and plant nearly 500 native
grasses in those gardens.
•Most of the volunteers signed up to volunteer through the
Disney Give A Day Get A Day Program. 463 people signed up on
the site and on that very rainy soggy day we had only 33 people
"no show".
•Much of the site supervision was done by volunteers from the
cities, OUSD and REI who were able to participate in the Disney
program as well. The folks at Terracare (formerly ACC Landscape)
helped supervise and provide us with equipment and tools for all
three Brentwood sites. All support volunteers were very
supportive and enthusiastic on that very soggy day!
•As impressive as all these numbers are we must remember that
the number of volunteers we got for this community service event
was competitive or surpassed those community service events in
communities with much bigger populations!
Across the board everyone said our volunteers were enthusiastic
and hardworking -despite the weather! There were many
volunteers that came from out of the area that had to drive more
than an hour to get to the project sites.
Thank you for all YOUR hardwork and thank you for giving
FOMCW this opportunity to help our community!
