As I look back at the work that I did with the City of Santa Barbara Creeks Division, I never thought that I would be writing about my experience. My name is Darren Carreņo, I'm 16 years old, and I documented the work me and my peers did last summer, at the end of Soledad Street on Santa Barbara's Eastside.
At Sycamore Creek, we created a bio-swale. Basically it's designed to naturally filter water runoff after big storms. While working at the jobsite, I was introduced to the Youth CineMedia Program, and it seemed really interesting. I joined the program and we started trying to come up with a way to educate people about the creeks and water quality.
