As a nature lover, you probably know about Earth Day, the springtime celebration focusing on environmental protection and how you can help. At state parks in California, Earth Day is celebrated throughout April, with volunteer events taking place at many of the state’s 280 parks, including China Camp.

On Saturday, April 11, China Camp will host two volunteer projects to enhance and improve the park. The event is cosponsored by the California Sate Parks Foundation (CSPF). Volunteers will head out in the field, removing invasive Scotch and French broom, which crowd out native plants, harm wildlife habitat, alter soil chemistry, and increase the risk of destructive wildfire. Skilled volunteers will also be able to help in our major effort to repair historic structures at China Camp Village.

This is a great event for all, including families with teens age 14 and older. Lunch will be provided to all registrants. Free camping at our Back Ranch Meadows Campground will be available (registered participants only). To register (required), visit the CSPF website.

Space is limited; registration is required. Cancellations notified via email.No Neon link for Earth Day.
