The Ultimate Eco-Project

Earth Month is coming and you might’ve already done the beach cleanups, you might’ve told your friends where all those cigarettes butts they throw on the freeway end up, and you might’ve even come to visit our Santa Monica Pier Aquarium to learn about the marine life we all seek to protect in the Santa Monica Bay.  But are you ready to take your enviro stewardship to the next level?  Come join us to kick off Earth Month this year like it’s never been done before: with the ultimate environmental project! 
 
Join us this March 30th at 3PM in South L.A. for a community celebration of our latest “greening” project, the first of its magnitude for Heal the Bay: a park that, once built with the help of a $1.3 million State Parks Grant that was just approved, will recycle urban runoff water. To learn more background on this project, read this recent blog post.
 
WHAT: Celebration of the WAYS Literacy & Fitness Park

WHEN: Wednesday, March 30, 3pm

WHERE: McKinley Ave &  E. 87th St,  FREE parking available on side streets

WHO: Heal the Bay, our South L.A. partner Wisdom Academy for Young Scientists Charter Elementary School, and Councilwoman Jan Perry, among others.
