Protect Big Chico Creek—Every Drop Counts!

Announced on: Monday, Oct. 27, 2025

Did you know the creek running through our campus flows year-round and connects directly to local waterways? Everything that goes into a storm drain—trash, pet waste, soap, or oil—can end up in the creek, harming fish, plants, and wildlife.

Let's keep our creek clean and healthy:

Pick up litter before it reaches the drain.
Dispose of pet waste properly—it carries harmful bacteria.
Never pour anything but rainwater into a storm drain.
Together, we can protect our campus creek and our community's water!
