Adopt-A-Levee

Every year, dedicated groups commit to caring for the San Lorenzo River in the City of Santa Cruz. We call these stewardship heroes Adopt-A-Levee Groups. 

These groups adopt one section of the San Lorenzo River in the City of Santa Cruz for one year and host at least two river levee cleanups within that timeframe. By removing trash and debris from the San Lorenzo River, our Adopt-A-Levee Groups prevent trash and other pollutants from entering the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and improve habitat for wildlife!
