Orange County's 4th Annual Creek Week is March 15-22

Orange County's 4th Annual Creek Week is March 15-22

Orange County Creek Week celebrates the streams, lakes, and rivers that connect our communities. It's a week long series of activities like a litter cleanup challenge, community science BioThon, invasive plant removal, green infrastructure tours, and more!  

Weeklong Activities:

Orange County Creek Week BioThon
Discover how water connects us by documenting plant and animal species in your community as part of a countywide community science project. During Creek Week observations logged into iNaturalist will become part of the Creek Week BioThon. Join the BioThon online here.

Orange County Community Scavenger Hunt
Join us for a countywide scavenger hunt during Creek Week, where you'll uncover hidden treasures and explore the wonders of our local creeks. Pick up a scavenger hunt card at a Creek Week event or use the option to print your own.
