Storm Cleanup Nov. 10
The fierce atmospheric river storm on October 24 deposited a great amount of debris on the shoreline north of Pt. Isabel. The East Bay Regional Park District needs volunteers to help clean it up on Wednesday, November 10, 9 am to 12 noon. Meet at Point Isabel, end of Rydin Road near the drinking fountain. Bring face masks, hand sanitizer. The Park District will provide safety instructions and COVID-19 screening instructions, along with waiver forms for volunteers to sign. More information here.
