Join us as we celebrate a decade of community gatherings of partners, allies, and outdoor lovers. We are proud to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Latino Conservation Week, an initiative dedicated to empowering the Latino community to engage with the great outdoors and actively participate in safeguarding our precious natural resources.

During this week, community, non-profit, faith-based, and government organizations and agencies hold events throughout the country. From picnics, hiking, and camping to community roundtables and film screenings, these activities promote conservation efforts in their community, and provide an opportunity for Latinos to show their support for permanently protecting our land, water, and air.

Come join us for a day in sunny San Diego at the park with food, prizes and activities, to celebrate a decade of fostering a stronger bond between the Latino community and the great outdoors. For one of the activities, get ready to mark your cards and yell "Loteria!" because the Power In Nature (Poder en la Naturaleza) coalition will be hosting a nature-themed Loteria game! But that's not all! We have something truly special in store for you. Introducing our exclusive California Flag redesigns, crafted to honor the rich heritage and biodiversity of our great state which will be given as special prizes for Loteria winners!

Together, we can continue making a positive impact on our natural environment and ensure its preservation for generations to come.

Caminando con las plantas de San Diego

Participé en una caminata por Olivia Canyon en City Heights guiada por personal de educación de Canyonlands Iriany, para aprender sobre las plantas nativas y no nativas a través de una actividad familiar de búsqueda del tesoro.

Este evento honra Latino Conservation Week, una semana enfocada en la comunidad Latinx para celebrar su participación y contribuciones en el medio ambiente. Las actividades se ofrecen en todo el país para ayudar a fomentar la conexión de la comunidad Latinx con la naturaleza.

El evento es el sábado 22 de julio de 9 a 11 am en Olivia Canyon en las calles Myrtle Avenue y Menlo Avenue. 

The event will be a bike ride that starts and ends in Griffith Park, going along the LA River bike path, navigating some city streets that do not yet have a bike path with stops throughout the ride where speakers will discuss the LA River Restoration Project as well as the LA River Bike Path Extension Project. Before the ride, League of American Bicyclist instructors will go over bicycle safety and do a safety check on participants' bikes before the ride.
This educational bike ride and safety instructions will have presentations in both Spanish and English or translation. Human powered transportation is an excellent way of sharing the history and future plans for the river. We will welcome bikes, trikes, skates and wheelchairs to join the fun informative day along the river. Human powered transportation on wheels is environmentally low impact as well as a fun way to get to our different destinations while also getting exercise.
Discussions about the past, present and future of the LA River will give participants the knowledge and we aim to spark interest in the upcoming project that will be improving the Los Angeles River ecosystem as well as access to our community resource. 

We provide a 2 hour kayak tour along the Chicago river with a short kayak and safety lesson beforehand. Our guides will bring you on a relaxing paddle down the Chicago river where you get to take in the scenic views of the Chicago skyline and learn about the history of the city as well as its iconic architecture. From Native Americans using the waterways for trade all the way to our modern skyscrapers, it's a great summer experience. This tour will be for Latino Conservation week and will be led by two bilingual guides.

Join us for Lunch and an info session about the proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary.

This is the first Tribally nominated national marine sanctuary in the United States, nominated by the Northern Chumash Tribal Council. During this event we will talk about what a sanctuary is and why your voice matters in helping determine what the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary will look like. Its a great time to ask questions!

Presentation will be in English and Spanish! Vegetarian and meat food options available.
