A group of 40 volunteers gathered at Buena Vista Creek Trail last weekend to participate in the 42nd Annual Coastal Cleanup Day, collecting significant amounts of debris from the local waterway.

The cleanup effort demonstrated the community's commitment to environmental stewardship, with dozens of residents donating their time to remove trash and protect the creek ecosystem.

City officials expressed gratitude to all participants who contributed to the cleanup initiative. The annual event is part of a broader effort to maintain clean waterways throughout Vista and prevent pollution from reaching coastal areas.

Residents interested in learning more about protecting local water resources can find additional information through the city's environmental programs.
