In the month of April, CIR participated in three Earth Day
events over three weekends and is
excited to announce all had great turnouts, in addition to many new CIR
volunteer sign-ups. We had over 400 new volunteers join CIR this year
just at the Earth Day Festivals! This year, CIR hosted booths at the
Earth Day events in the cities of Oxnard, Santa Barbara, and Ventura.
CIR was among hundreds of other non-profit and
environmentally-friendly organizations at the Earth Day Festivals, and these celebrations are CIR’s best opportunity to reach out to members of
the public who want to become involved with environmental conservation.
In fact, many of our volunteers first heard about CIR at an Earth Day
event.
CIR first participated at the Santa Barbara Earth Day event in 2007, and our booth has evolved from a couple of simple displays into a showcase of habitat restoration work on the Channel Islands and mainland. CIR has also participated in the Thousand Oaks and Ojai Earth Day events and even some in the Los Angeles area in the previous years.
CIR Board member Cindy Kimmick brings her fascinating
display of vertebrates for young people and adults alike, and she provides the
visitors with a fun interactive learning opportunity. CIR merchandise,
such as our 100% organic cotton t-shirts, CIR caps, and educational field
guides, is also made available for purchase at these events.
We thank all those that took the time to visit our booth and the volunteers that helped make our booth successful!
