The San Mateo Resource Conservation District (RCD) is looking for volunteers to help the pet waste education/outreach campaign. Bacteria is a major pollutant on the coastside and dog waste can be a big contributor threatening human health and aquatic life. As part of this effort, the RCD is conducting a dog waste clean-up event in the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve Area/San Vincente Creek to remove dog waste before it is washed into the ocean during the first big rain of the season (first flush).

RCD will be providing volunteers with buckets, gloves, masks, bags etc. Community efforts such as these in addition to widespread education are key to stopping pollution from pet waste. If you are not able to attend, RCD encourages you to pick up after any pets you have and spread the word about pet waste.
