AYLUS Santa Clarita Valley branch members volunteered for the 30th Annual River Rally Clean Up Environmental Expo on September 20, 2025. This year’s River Rally was held along Wiley Canyon Road, off the Via Princessa Bridge, east of Orchard Village Road, where volunteers cleaned a portion of the Santa Clara riverbed just west of Railroad Avenue. The Santa Clara River, which runs through the Santa Clarita Valley, is one of the last natural, free-flowing river systems in Southern California. This is what makes the annual River Rally so important, because more than 1,200 volunteers gather each year to clean a portion of the river. This helps to preserve its natural beauty and protect the habitat for various wildlife, including fragile endangered species. In addition to removing trash and debris from the riverbed, volunteers helped with logistics, including volunteer check-in, arts and crafts, water and glove distribution and line control. This year’s River Rally is extra special as we celebrate the event’s 30th anniversary with new activities and family-friendly fun. The Environmental Expo will feature interactive games and activities amidst the educational booths focused on sustainability, pollution prevention and protecting our local watershed.
