Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation DistrictAlameda County Flood Control District, Castro Valley Creek Daylighting Campaign

In a publicity campaign to bring awareness of environmental restoration to the public, Convey obtained television, radio, and print coverage for the "daylighting" of Castro Valley Creek, a project that restored a section of the creek once covered over by pavement to its natural setting.

The District was able to use TV and radio clips in presentations made to public groups as well as to feature them on their website. Convey has also prepared applications for awards that have won further recognition for the District's committed efforts.
