Earth Day cleanups: Pick a beach or park
So many beaches and parks, only one Earth Day. If you like to get your hands dirty, then get up early join fellow environmentalists to clean up our parks and beaches this Saturday, April 19. You've got three locations to pick from:
- The California State Parks Foundation’s Earth Day 2008 Restoration & Cleanup will have crews at two locations -- but the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve event's already full. So sign up to clean up Malibu Creek State Park from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. by RSVPing to Lindsey Templeton at 818.880.0372 or ltempleton@parks.ca.gov.
- Heal the Bay will have its own “Nothin' But Sand” Beach Cleanup. Show up to work from 10 a.m. to noon, just south of the pier near the Ainsworth lifeguard tower in Redondo Beach.
- Help restore a watershed at Rio de Los Angeles Park by pitching in at Earth Day at Rio. You'll clean up the park, plant trees, and even distribute free trees at this kid-friendly event. The fun happens from 9 a.m. to noon at Rio de Los Angeles Park, 1900 San Fernando Rd., Los Angeles.
Remember to wear sunscreen!Thanks for making our beaches and parks pretty before Earth Day rolls around on April 22.
