El Cerrito's Earth Day Celebration 2015

Each April, the City celebrates Earth Day with a series of hands-on work parties in the morning, followed by a volunteer appreciation lunch and celebration. Earth Day this year is April 18.

Past projects include removing invasive plants at Baxter Creek, removing broom from the Hillside Nature Area or along Moeser Lane, picking up litter along the Ohlone Greenway and San Pablo Avenue, tidying parks, and caring for street trees. Individuals, families and groups are all welcome!

Work parties are from 9:00 a.m. to noon at various locations around El Cerrito; the luncheon is from noon till 1:30 p.m. at the El Cerrito Community Center (7007 Moeser Lane, El Cerrito).
