Guilford Creek Week brings cleanups, tours and family fishing

Guilford County is inviting residents into a week of creek-focused programs, cleanups and tours from Saturday, May 30, through Saturday, June 6.

Guilford Creek Week is a collaboration among Guilford County, Greensboro, High Point, Kernersville, Stormwater SMART, local businesses and nonprofits. The goal is to raise awareness about watershed health and give residents practical ways to connect with local creeks and water systems.

The county's event list includes Family Fishing Day at the Guilford County Farm in Gibsonville on May 30 from 9 a.m. to noon, a recycling and watershed-health session at the Bishop Road collection facility in Greensboro on June 1, a drain-marker pop-up in Greensboro's Saddlecreek neighborhood on June 2 and a Downtown Greenway stream walk on June 4.

Some events require registration, while others are open without signup. The county says residents should use the Guilford Creek Week website for the full event list and registration links.

For Greensboro and Guilford County viewers, this is a community calendar item with a public-service edge: the same waterways that carry storm runoff through neighborhoods also affect parks, drinking-water systems and downstream recreation.
