Join us THIS SUNDAY!
Earth Day was on April 22nd, and has now been observed for 55 years! What started in 1970 as a nationwide environmental demonstration and protest against pollution, has since become an annual reminder to keep our planet clean. With the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and critical regulatory laws like the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act stemming from that first Earth Day, countless wildlife and natural resources have since been protected. Today we celebrate the work of our predecessors to protect and conserve the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve and continue in their footsteps to educate and connect our community on the importance of this vital environment.
We hope to see you and your family on Sunday April 27th, from 10am-2pm for this momentous event with our friends at Bolsa Chica State Beach and the Huntington Harbour Yacht Club and Clean Water Coalition.
