Saratoga Creek Cleanup
On Saturday, May 21st, as part of National River Cleanup Day and with support from the Santa Clara Valley Water District and City staff, members of the public and the Cupertino City Council cleaned up the Saratoga Creek within the property recently annexed by Cupertino along Lawrence Expressway. This is an extensive space. The group removed more than 500 pounds of trash and more than 600 pounds of scrap metal, much of it quite embedded and heavy, from the creek that morning. Many thanks from Council to our tireless volunteers who on this morning helped to prepare space for a new public park, and who in general make our world better.
