The annual Alpine Creek Days will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
Participants will meet at the Alpine County Library Park in Markleeville.
The watershed stewardship program will be doing restoration projects, protection projects, and activities to teach residents why keeping rivers and streams healthy is important.
"The goal is to involve community members in protecting the Alpine County watersheds," said Laura Lueders, Alpine Watershed Coordinator.
This is the fifth year that Alpine Creek Day has taken place, and it is a family event.
There is a large influence of educational activities.
"With 50 to 200 participants in a county with about 150 residents, it has been very successful," said Lueders.
Activities include a meadow restoration project at Grover Hot Springs State Park, noxious weed and trash removal, storm drain stenciling, interactive, watershed model and educational literature, arts and crafts, free lunch, T-shirts, raffle, story time for tots and a fish release and fish habitat education.
"We are most proud of the fish release," said Lueders. "People of all ages come out to release 100 pounds of trout into the stream."
Sponsors for the event include Alpine County, Friends of Hope Valley, the Rose Foundation, Carson River Subconservancy District, California State Parks and many more.
