The San Lorenzo Valley has a long history of supporting Earth Day Santa Cruz, and this year’s event on Saturday, April 22, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM promises to be exciting. After being canceled last year due to COVID, this event is an excellent opportunity for residents to unite and reinforce their ties between those living upstream in the mountains and those close to the coast, enabling an understanding of shared environmental, social, and financial concerns.

Continuing our decades-long commitment to Earth Day Santa Cruz, the Valley Women‘s Club Environmental Committee will host an information booth at San Lorenzo Park behind the Paradox Hotel. Our booth will feature displays, information on various environmental topics, and hands-on activities, including planting native plant seeds.

While San Lorenzo Park will be a hub of activity, Earth Day Santa Cruz events will occur throughout the city, so be sure to check the website and map to plan your day. All events are free and open to all ages.
