Our Events

The Environmental Services Division helps host Beautify Goleta events throughout the year. Check out our event calendar below!

San Pedro Creek Cleanup

Help the Environmental Defense Center, City of Goleta, and Santa Barbara Urban Creeks Council remove trash from San Pedro Creek! This is one of six creek clean-ups this fall.

Litter washing off streets through storm drains into the stream is a threat to wildlife in the creek, the Goleta Slough, and the ocean.

Participants should bring a hat and sunscreen, sturdy closed-toe shoes, drinking water in a reusable container, and mask and work gloves.

For more information and to RSVP, Contact Brian Trautwein at BTrautwein@EnvironmentalDefenseCenter.org or 805-963-1622 x108. 

Future Creek Cleanups in 2023:

  • November 18 – Maria Ygnacio Creek; meet at Tabano Way at Matorral Way
  • December 2 – Atascadero Creek; meet at Turnpike Road, southern dead-end below Hollister Ave

Thank you for helping keep Goleta clean and healthy!
