If you’re looking for some good old-fashioned fun for Earth Day, no need to look very far! The Ojai Valley Land Conservancy, in partnership with Oak Grove School, Ojai Valley Green Coalition, Rotary Ojai – West, Rotary Club of Ojai, and other earth friendly Ojai organizations will offer a community-wide Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 24th.
Starting at Rotary Park on Ojai Avenue, check out alternative transportation at Rotary West’s exhibit, and find out how you can win a great prize by getting out of your car for the day. From there, join an
EarthWalk at 10am, to EarthPlay on the Ojai Meadows Preserve for an earthly fun day of eco-friendly activities celebrating the earth beneath our feet on Ojai’s own nature preserve. Located on Maricopa Highway next to Nordhoff High School, the Preserve is just minutes away from just about anywhere in Ojai.
Come to EarthPlay for the day, or between tennis matches any time between 11am and 5pm. Exciting presentations and exhibits will feature Ojai’s many environmentally friendly organizations including Ojai Valley Green Coalition, Ojai Trees, Julie Tumamait and the Barbareno/Ventureno Band of Mission Indians, (Chumash), the Matilija Coalition, Ojai Rotary, Ojai Valley Defense Fund, California Solar Electric solar roller and others.
Enjoy fun outdoor activities for the whole family, a concert stage, several cultural and eco-presentations and good food too. Plant a tree, navigate a maze in the mustard, learn to build a bird house, join a Chumash earth offering ceremony, race a wheelbarrow, kick back and listen to musical offerings or an eco-education presentation.
Admission is free and there will be plenty of opportunity to support the work of the participating nonprofit organizations and businesses in Ojai.
After a day in the great outdoors and dinner on the town, come back to the Meadow for Howling at the Moon at 8pm -- an open air concert under the stars with Ojai’s own HOUSEHOLD GODS and friends. The evening promises a great mix of humor and music, local Ojai wines, and a lively auction. Concert tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Tickets benefit the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy and may be purchased at their website, www.ovlc.org, soon.
