Descripción del Evento

¡Un día lleno de información sobre la creación de Dios! ¡Dios nos regaló este planeta y debemos disfrutarlo, pero también cuidarlo y conservarlo! Celebrando a Dios, nuestra familia y Su creación.

El Día del Arroyo es un evento comunitario de restauración de cuencas hidrográficas basado en el voluntariado que el Alpine Watershed Group ha estado coordinando desde 2001. Este importante evento nos ayuda a llevar a cabo proyectos de salud ambiental, tales como la instalación de estacas de sauce, la recolección de basura, la eliminación de malezas invasoras, el control de problemas de erosión, la protección de álamos y otros proyectos ecológicos.

El Día del Arroyo reúne a docenas de voluntarios que se dividen para trabajar en varios proyectos, cada uno con un líder capacitado en el sitio que cuenta con las herramientas y suministros necesarios.

El Día Familiar en el Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge es una evento al aire libre, guiado por un guardia forestal del U.S. Fish and Wildlie Service del parque, en el cual participaremos en diversas actividades tales como:

• caminar por los senderos del parque
• observar las aves nativas del Valle del Río Grande en el Sur de Texas
• aprender acerca de la naturaleza como creación de Dio, su cuidado y consevación
• disfrutar de paisajes increibles
• hacer limpieza ambiental recogiendo residuos de basura
• compartir alimentos en un ambiente de compañerismo familiar.

Virtual Event

Christian Education Week + Latino Conservation Week

This year, our Christian Education Week celebration will be connected with Latino Conservation Week, creating an opportunity for faith, education, science, and care for creation to come together in meaningful and practical ways.

Under the theme “Faithfulness That Shapes Generations,” we will focus on the affirmation “Inspired by His Faithfulness.” God’s faithfulness forms us, sustains us, and guides us. In response, we are called to live with purpose and to responsibly care for the creation He has entrusted to us.

The experience will include four interactive stations designed to engage both our students and faculty, with the Science Department and science classes playing an important role in connecting faith, learning, environmental awareness, and action.

Four Interactive Stations

1. Care for Our Coasts
An educational station focused on beach and coastal conservation, the impact of waste and pollution, and practical ways we can help protect marine ecosystems.

2. Light Matters
A station centered on light pollution and its impact on wildlife, helping participants understand how artificial light can affect animal behavior, habitats, and natural ecosystems.

3. Plant with Purpose
Participants will have the opportunity to plant a seed or small plant as a symbol of stewardship, growth, responsibility, and hope for future generations.

4. Inspired by Creation
An art-based station where participants can draw or create something inspired by God’s creation, connecting creativity, reflection, and environmental awareness.

The goal is for each station to go beyond sharing information and encourage a practical response: to learn, care, create, and act.

Join us for a fun, family-friendly celebration of Latino Conservation Week! Together with Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, Latino Outdoors, Wilderness Youth Project, and Los Padres Forest Watch, we'll explore the amazing plants, animals, and insects that call our local environment home. This free bilingual and bicultural event is open to all ages and is a great opportunity to connect with nature, learn something new, and spend time with your community. Registration is required as there is a 50-person limit for this event. 

The event takes place at Elings Park in Santa Barbara, where you'll receive a brief lesson on local biodiversity efforts, a nature zine created by the Botanic Garden, and meet 4 local organizations doing conservation work in the region. We'll also take a short, easy walk (about 15 minutes) to a nearby native plant restoration site, where you'll see how restoring local habitats helps birds, bees, butterflies, and other wildlife thrive. You'll participate in a native seed collection effort and also see how native plants differ from their non-native counterparts. Along the way, you'll discover simple ways we can all help protect the natural places around us. You'll leave the event with your very own native plant to take home and care for!!

Please bring a hat, a reusable water bottle, comfortable walking shoes, and a sense of curiosity. Whether you're new to exploring the outdoors or already love spending time in nature, we look forward to sharing this experience with you and your family.

Coffee and pan-dulce will be served in the morning and burritos from Del Pueblo Cafe will be provided for lunch.

Join us at the Chehalis Western Trailhead at Woodard Bay Natural Area for a free bilingual educational program for families.

Join us for an educational workshop “Exploring our mangroves and coasts”, a space to learn, share, and discover the importance of our mangroves and coastal ecosystems.

This transformative airboat experience seeks to reconnect Hispanic organizations and communities in Central Florida with our precious Everglades ecosystem. It is vital that the Hispanic community understands that the health of local wetlands directly impacts the water supply for more than 8 million people in Florida. The expedition is not just recreational; it includes a guided talk on the impact of urban development on river headwaters and the importance of protecting wetlands from pollution and habitat fragmentation.

Join Big Sur Land Trust, the City of Salinas, CSUMB's Habitat Stewardship Project, the Center for Community Advocacy, and community partners as we celebrate the grand opening of the 67-acre Restoration Area at Ensen Community Park!

This free, family-friendly event will feature guided bird walks, a community bike ride, hands-on activities, community resource booths, raffles, and complimentary espresso drinks. Community members of all ages are invited to explore the new restoration area, connect with local organizations, and celebrate this exciting milestone for Salinas.

The restoration area represents the second and final phase of the Ensen Community Project, a transformative effort that has converted land once drained for agriculture into a vibrant landscape where wetlands, wildlife habitat, environmental education, and outdoor recreation thrive together. The project fulfills a long-standing community vision to create more parks and open space in Salinas while restoring a portion of the historic Carr Lake area for both people and nature.

This achievement reflects years of collaboration and community leadership. Since 2018, more than 7,000 residents, community organizations, and local leaders have helped shape the vision for this space, ensuring it serves as a welcoming destination that reflects the values, culture, and aspirations of the Salinas community.

Come celebrate this community-driven conservation success and experience the newest addition to Ensen Community Park!
