Interested in creating a future of clean water and healthy waterways for everyone? 

Join Saved By Nature for a series of six community cleanups along the banks of Coyote Creek and the Guadalupe River. Our local waterways provide many benefits to communities by transporting floodwaters, recharging groundwater supplies, filtering pollution, and providing habitat for fish and wildlife. Take action with us!

​

Saved By Nature’s Headwaters to the Bay project will engage approximately five hundred and forty people of all ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, and abilities in eighteen trips within Santa Clara County watersheds to experience twelve professional guided themed interpretive hiking adventures and six river and creek beautifications. Participants will gain skills and confidence that will empower them to return many times over, steward our waterways, as well as engage in restorative practices that will foster joy and healing in our local watersheds 

Multigenerational participants will discover and explore beautiful forests near home together, and throughout the series learn about:

A) Protecting and maintaining water supplies,

B) Improving surface and groundwater quality,

C) Reducing flood risk, protecting, enhancing and sustaining our natural ecosystem, D) Mitigating and adapting to climate change,

E) Increasing permeability in urban areas, and

F) Leave No Trace principles.

​

We will provide snacks and all equipment.

We will have a limited supply of t-shirts, water bottles, and reusable utensil sets.
