Earth Day Work Party 2026

The Friends of San Pedro Valley Park will once again celebrate Earth Day in 2026 with a restoration work party in the park. This year, this event will take place on the actual commemorative Earth Day, which is Wednesday, April 22nd (replacing our usual Habitat Restoration event on the 3rd Saturday of each month). And it will again be a “rescue” day for the plants in our beloved, but neglected, Native Plant Garden, as we go after removing the usual suspects of invasive plants, weeds and plant debris. We will be concentrating our efforts on trying to enhance the garden and help bring it back to its former healthy and well-tended appearance. This year’s event will take place from 10 am until 1 pm next to the Visitor Center. Just bring your gloves and your sun hats…we’ll supply the tools and the knee pads! The two areas comprising the SPVP Native Plant Garden – there is a second section of garden located adjacent to the outdoor patio inside the fenced area of the Visitor Center that many visitors do not see – are ambassadors for the wild and wonderful biodiversity of our park, so we need to have the plants in the garden be able to show themselves at their best for our visitors. We hope you can join us for this annual celebration of the native plant life in this, our tiny corner of the planet.
