About this Event

Come volunteer at Oakland Zoo's Arroyo Viejo Creek this Earth Day on April 22, 2025, from 12:45pm - 3:30pm! As a volunteer, YOU (ages 12 and up) can work on a variety of outdoor tasks that may include picking up garbage, pulling invasive species, spreading mulch, moving materials, cleaning signage, or planting native plants. Volunteers will receive FREE parking and Zoo admission before their shift.


The Arroyo Viejo Creek runs through the Oakland Zoo grounds, secretly flowing under the entrance road to the Park. The Arroyo Viejo Creek Restoration Project began with a mission to repair damaged and neglected stream areas by preventing bank erosion, increasing stability, and improving habitat for creek wildlife.
