Earth Walk returns March 11

Published on February 22, 2023

Lakewood's free Earth Walk event returns this spring with a free interactive and educational experience for children and adults on Saturday, March 11, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The event will be held at rustic Monte Verde Park, which is the trailhead to over three miles of landscaped walking trails and the San Gabriel River Parkway. Monte Verde Park is located at 4626 N. Shadeway Rd.

Participants will learn what they can do to help keep the earth beautiful and protected. Adults and children are invited to take a nature walk, create nature-themed crafts, visit the petting zoo, and learn about recycling.

“Woody the Tree,” Lakewood’s "Tree City, U.S.A." mascot, will be in attendance to help teach visitors about Lakewood’s “urban forest.”

Participants can visit the stations along the trail and get their passport stamped with specialty Earth Walk stamps. With a completed passport, participants will receive a special Earth Walk gift, while supplies last.

For more information, call 562-866-9771, ext. 2408, or go to www.lakewoodcity.org/EarthWalk.
