Prior to the creek clean-up a community outreach program was undertaken that included educating children in the nearby elementary school about proper waste segregation and recycling and thereby protecting the environment and their own drinking water. After pledges were received that the children would protect the environment and would not dump garbage into the creeks anymore, a comprehensive creek clean-up at 5 bridges was completed on February 24, 2018.
