==History==
The organization is dedicated to improving creek habitats for environmental, flood control, pollution filtration, and beautification reasons. The original five creeks were Cerrito Creek-Middle/Blackberry, Marin Creek, Codornices Creek, Schoolhouse Creek and Marin/Village Creek, however the organization's involvement has expanded to all the creeks in the area including the communities of Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Kensington, Richmond, and the surrounding unincorporated areas.〔〔 Susan Schwartz, the organization's leader, states that the organization like other "friends of" groups would not have gotten off the ground without help from the Urban Creeks Council.〔(Water warriors / United Creeks Council quietly fights to bring streams to light ). Katherine Redding. ''San Francisco Chronicle''. 03-04-2003. Retrieved 27-01-2011.〕 The group holds up to 40 events a year where the volunteers work on refuse collection, graffiti removal, removing culverts in addition to plating native vegetation and removing invasive species.〔(Friends of Five Creeks Never Stops, Catch Up With Them Sunday ). ''Albany Patch''. 2011. Retrieved 27-01-2011.〕〔 There is a monthly work party to pick weeds and showcase the area's natural habitats with a new site each month.〔 The organization is registered with the California Coastal Commission.〔
