Volunteer at our Earth Day River Channel Cleanup!

Dear Neighbor,

Please join me and Orange County Coastkeeper for a River Channel Cleanup on Saturday, April 20, at the Santa Ana-Delhi Channel to celebrate Earth Day! Together, we can work to prevent hundreds of pounds of plastic and trash from ending up in our beautiful coastal waters.

Over the years, hundreds of volunteers have participated in our cleanups helping remove over 11,300 pounds of debris from the waterway and along the coast. In December, our volunteers helped remove nearly 3,100 pounds of trash from the channel – the largest amount of debris collected at any Orange County Coastkeeper volunteer cleanup in the organization’s history.

Saturday, April 20
9 – 11 a.m.

Santa Ana-Delhi Channel Entrance
Mesa Dr. and Irvine Ave.
Costa Mesa, CA
(Parking available on Anniversary Lane behind the channel)

The Santa Ana-Delhi Channel is one of many drainage channels that lead to the ocean. The Channel drains into the Newport Back Bay, which is why it is vital to remove any trash or harmful materials before they end up in our waterways.

Let's all take time to do our part in doing the most to protect our coast! Invite your friends and family to come help us make sure that we're able to enjoy our beautiful coastline for generations to come. We will provide free “Do the Most to Protect the Coast” t-shirts to volunteers (while supplies last).

As always, please contact our office if you have any questions or if we can assist you with state-related issues.

Yours faithfully,


Cottie Petrie-Norris
California State Assemblywoman
