Earth Day is close to the East Bay Regional Park District’s heart and mission to preserve and protect natural resources.
Launched on April 22, 1970 as an environmental teach-in, Earth Day is now a global movement to protect the Earth and the environment.
“Earth Day is both a celebration of the natural environment we enjoy in the Regional Parks and a reminder of our responsibility to take care of it,” said General Manager Sabrina Landreth. “There are many ways to celebrate Earth Day with the Park District, including joining a naturalist-led program, taking a hike or ride in nature, or volunteering to clean up parks.”
Earth Day Volunteer Clean-up Events
Park, shoreline, and beach clean-up events are planned at multiple locations throughout the Park District, as well as planting projects and spreading mulch (Lake Chabot).
Clean-up locations include:
- Point Pinole
- Hayward Shoreline
- Tidewater Boating Center
- Martin Luther King Jr. Shoreline
- Crown Beach
- Lake Chabot
