The Sonoma Ecology Center, the Sonoma Stream Stewardships, Sonoma County Regional Parks, Transition Sonoma Valley and Nuestra Voz partnered to host cleanup events at five different sites around the Valley. An estimated 40 to 50 volunteers were cleaning along Nathanson Creek in back of Sonoma Valley High.
