Get Involved

Cardiff is a small town — about fifty people, one creek, a century of history. What happens to it is up to the people who care about it. Here is how to be one of them.

Ways to help

🏛️

Serve on the Town Council

Cardiff is an incorporated municipality. It needs five people willing to show up to meetings and make decisions. This is the most important thing you can do. No experience required — just the willingness to show up.

Watershed Volunteer

Clear privet. Document illegal dumping. Pick up trash on the creek bank. Take water samples. Five Mile Creek is worth protecting and it takes people willing to get muddy to protect it.

Document Cardiff

Photograph the cemetery. Film the creek. Record a story before it disappears. The archive we are building needs eyes and ears in the community. Your phone is enough.

Stay Informed

Share What You Know

Do you have family history in Cardiff? Old photographs? A story that should be written down? Knowledge of the land, the creek, the plants, the old ways? We want it.

Support the Site

Support this
project.

This is an independent community website built on personal time and personal money. Contributions support the development, upkeep, hosting, tools, and expansion of the site itself. They do not go to the Town of Cardiff or to any official municipal account.

I am building this because Cardiff is home to me, and I want this place to have a living record that is useful, welcoming, and worth returning to. Support helps me keep documenting the town, improving the site, and adding the tools this project still needs.
