School tours inspire Kids to take action
For the past 9 years our St. Helena Primary School first graders have enjoyed the opportunity to visit the recycling facility on Whitehall Lane. This has had a tremendous impact on their learning about the importance of our natural resources and recycling. If it weren’t for these field trips our students would not have the opportunity to see what happens to materials that they put into the blue, recycling bins at school and at home. After visiting the center children are inspired to take action and become more responsible citizens.Thank you for helping us to teach our students about recycling. We look forward to our experience each year.Sincerely,Angie Bond, Michelle Parker, Robin Robert, Joan Spitler1st grade teachers-St. Helena Primary School

Funding for Private clean-Up activities
inUpValleyNapaCountyWaterWaysAvailable
The Department of environmental Management is offering a coupon which will allow debris removed from creek clean-ups to be disposed of for free at Clover Flat Landfill. This is a Napa County Pilot Program supported by UVDS and the Up Valley Waste Management Agency to encourage private clean-up activities. This program is for creeks polluted by windblown debris and illegally dumped refuse within the UVDS service area. Funding is limited and project approval will be evaluated based on those projects that are deemed to be most environmentally beneficial and cost effective. If your service club or neighborhood would like to receive an application or more information please contact the Department of Environmental Management at least 2 weeks prior to your scheduled clean up at 253-4471.
