Volunteers were able to help remove graffiti on Soledad Canyon Road and Camp Plenty near the wash.  

“We are here for the graffiti removal which is an annual event hosted by the city’s graffiti team, so this year we are under the camp plenty bridge, completing the beautification project with the help of 40 volunteers,” said Tracy Sullivan, community preservation manager. 

Volunteers and city officials gathered together in Canyon Country under the Whites Canyon bridge for an information meeting to also learn about different removal techniques.
