The Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed (FoMCW) is a volunteer group that has been working to raise awareness in the community about the value of Marsh Creek and its watershed since 2004. This group has established native gardens, organized trash cleanups, participated in educational events, provided input on larger restoration projects, and more.
People from all backgrounds are welcome to participate in the FoMCW activities and volunteer events. Whether you are interested in critters, water quality, preserving open space, outdoor recreation, community service, education, art, or anything else, you can find a place to pursue it with the Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed.

Watch the following video to see the FoMCW in action. The Contra Costa Resource Conservation District filmed and edited this video and provides support to the Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed. Thank you to our partners who make this work and this video possible, including the Contra Costa County Flood Control District, the City of Oakley, and the City of Brentwood!
The FoMCW currently maintain a native plant demonstration garden near Brentwood Creekside Park. The garden supports wildlife such as pollinators, while providing a place for community members to learn about some of our locally native plants. You can find the garden here.
We currently hold monthly workdays in the garden on the second Sunday of each month at 9am. All are welcome to join these workdays!
If you would like to join one of our upcoming workdays, please add your email to the email list above to receive workday announcements and reminders.
