We deeply appreciate all of our members and donors, but do you want to make even more of a difference? It's time to get out there and get your hands dirty with FOV!
We are excited to be involved with California Coastal Cleanup this year and to be co-hosting a site with the Boy Scouts. We want to give our members an opportunity to help protect open space with us by keeping the waterways clean and lovely! As you know, everything drains to the bay, so cleaning up garbage along the arroyos is necessary for everyone to thrive, animals and people alike. So, we see Coastal Cleanup as an important part of what we, as an organization, stand for. Please come and out and join us in our efforts.
