Events › San José Youth Commission & District 1 Office Adopt-a-Storm Drain Event

The San José Youth Commission and District 1 Office present the Adopt-a-Storm Drain Event!

This event highlights the Adopt-a-Storm Drain pilot program which is a new initiative launched by Councilmember Rosemary Kamei. The program invites individuals and groups in District 1 to play an active role in protecting the environment by keeping storm drains clear. These drains play a critical role in managing rainwater and preventing flooding, but accumulated leaves, trash, and other debris prevent them from working effectively. Removing trash also prevents pollutants from entering our creeks and streams, which flow into the San Francisco Bay.

There will be a demonstration on how to clear a storm drain and then an opportunity for volunteers to clear storm drains in the Rainbow Park neighborhood. Please bring your own rake or broom!
