The Save Richardson Grove Coalition is sponsoring an Earth Day event in Richardson Grove State Park on Saturday, April 17 from 10:00 AM until 5:00 PM. The event is free and the public is welcome and encouraged to attend. This will be a no-drug and no-alcohol event. Activities include a Park clean-up, a potluck luncheon, music and guest speakers.

The clean-up of the Park from 10:00 AM-1:00 PM will entail picking up trash at campsites and along trails. Attendees are encouraged to bring work gloves and to carpool. Garbage bags will be provided. Signs will guide you to the picnic area where the clean-up will start.

A potluck luncheon at the picnic area will be held from 1:00 PM-3:00 PM. Attendees are encouraged to bring a dish to share along with their own plate, knife, fork, spoon and mug.

From 3:00 PM-5:00 PM there will be music and speakers discussing environmental issues, particularly the CALTRANS project to widen Highway 101 through Richardson Grove State Park. Speakers will include members of the Intertribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council, members of the Save Richardson Grove Coalition and others to be announced.

Musicians providing acoustic instruments are welcome. Other musical acts are to be announced. Event fliers will be posted. Show your support for the environment and the Park and celebrate springtime by attending.
