Nestlé in the U.S. is hosting #NestleCares, a national day of volunteering across Nestlé’s 120 U.S. hometowns. SCA is proud to be a partner in this endeavor by facilitating opportunities for Nestlé in the U.S. employees, families, and friends to engage in team-based service projects in 9 different cities. These projects will focus on some of the most urgent conservation needs including pollinator habitat restoration and water conservation.
Managed by the Friends of Sausal Creek, Bridgeview Trail winds along Sausal Creek through highly biodiverse habitat, including redwood groves. Nestlé USA and Nestlé Waters employees will join SCA volunteers in Oakland to preserve this local trail and its surrounding green space for future generations to enjoy.
