EarthWorks receives Restoration grant from State Parks
by Chris Klein
an Diego EarthWorks is proud to announce
the receipt of a grant from the California State Parks Foundation for our
1999 Community Restoration and Renewal Projects.
Two restoration projects,
to be held on Saturday, April 24, have been funded. At Torrey Pines State
Preserve, volunteers will assist park rangers by clearing debris and nonnative
vegetation from the trails. The second location has not been finalized,
but will probably in the South Bay region of San Diego (the site was to
be Mission Trails Regional Park, but seasonal bird nesting has made that
site unavailable until later in the year).
Altogether, the State Parks Foundation
is funding 77 Earth Day Restoration and Cleanup Projects presented by Enron
in 27 counties statewide. All will be held on April 24.
The nonprofit California State Parks
Foundation has a 30 year history of protecting and enhancing California's
264 State Parks. They have accomplished this through the dedicated support
of their 18,000 members and contributors whose continuing financial assistance
supports Earth Day and hundreds of State Park projects and educational programs.
To register for one of these projects,
