Each year in April, the City celebrates Earth Day with a morning of volunteerism.
We invite you to join or organize an Earth Day work party! The City of El Cerrito welcomes volunteers to:
Help tidy parks & public spaces
Pick up litter to reduce the amount of trash that ends up in our creeks, waterways and the Bay
Remove invasive plants and weeds
Participate in activities that beautify our community’s natural areas
The City encourages individuals, families and groups to register their work parties in advance by completing a Work Party Registration Form or emailing earthday@elcerrito.gov with details on site location, number of volunteers and type of work that will be performed by Sunday, April 19, 2026.
Interested parties may also select a work activity from the list of work parties below.
The City provides volunteers with gloves, bags and tools to borrow for their work party activity.
We recommend all volunteers dress appropriately for the weather, wear sunscreen and bring their own tools and water bottles.
Volunteers will be provided with snacks and refreshments at the Maintenance Corp Yard (7550 Schmidt Lane, El Cerrito).
