EARTH DAY 2009

So I haven’t really blogged much, I have been really busy with work and things at home. I had an event I was planning for on Earth Day 2009 at the Chino Creek Wetlands and Educational Park I built…well I managed the build of the park/and the volunteers, I feel as if I built it…anyway the event went really well. It was on Earth Day April 22, 2009 in Chino, CA. It was the Agency second Annual Earth Day Celebration. We had about 20 vendors participate in the event and 300 community members in attendance which double the amount from last year. The park has only been open about a year to the public so it is slowly building its recognition as Regional Park in the Inland Empire. The park consists of 22 acres that have been landscaped with a wide variety of California friendly® trees and grasses and features a state of the art irrigation management system. Some of the key components of the park are the community education elements that weave throughout the site. The park serves as a demonstration area for the community on improving water supply, storm water treatment and water efficiency. The park also has an education program that is taught by on-sight naturalists and the program covers CA science standards. So for any of you teachers out there that are looking for FREE field trips to the park let me know and I will get you setup. Here are a few photos from the event and the park….enjoy!!!
