There’s something for everyone, from beginners to seasoned pros! Plus, our Compost Hubs are situated in LA County’s most cherished green spaces: community gardens, urban farms, and beautiful parks.

Join the Open Space Authority, San Jose Astronomical Association (SJAA) and US Fish and Wildlife to celebrate the beauty of nature and community for Latino Conservation Week!

As the sun begins to set, we will embark on a guided sensory walk, taking the time to experience nature through sight, sound, touch and smell. We will listen for the evening chorus of frogs and discover the changing colors of the landscape at sunset. As darkness falls, our volunteer astrodocents will help us turn our eyes to the night sky. With telescopes, participants will have the opportunity to view the waxing crescent moon and learn about its phases and surface features.

We hope you can join us to celebrate our community, connection, and the beauty of outdoors.

Dress in layers and bring a red-flashlight to preserve your night vision. Bring water and a snack . Note that the walk to the moon viewing area can be rocky, so close-toed shoes are recommended.

Join Detroit Hives on September 12, 2027, for a special Community Tree Planting Event in celebration of Latino Conservation Week! Hosted at the East Warren Community Arboretum & Botanical Garden in Detroit’s 48214 community, this hands-on event brings residents, families, volunteers, and community partners together to plant trees, grow neighborhood green space, and strengthen our collective connection to nature.

Through community-powered conservation, participants will help create a greener, healthier, and more welcoming neighborhood while learning about the importance of trees, biodiversity, environmental stewardship, and urban conservation. The event is designed to expand access to nature and environmental education while creating meaningful opportunities for Latino families and residents throughout Detroit to participate in shaping the future of their communities.

Together, we’re not just planting trees—we’re planting roots, growing community, and creating a greener Detroit for generations to come.

Come plant with us and Bee the Change! ??

Volunteers will plant large-stock trees into pre-dug holes; this work will include loosening root balls, filling holes with soil, watering, and spreading mulch around newly planted trees. They will cool and clean the air, provide shade, and beautify the community. 

Stay after the planting for delicious food, great conversation, and time to connect with the community.
