Arbor Earth Day Celebration coming April 20th

By Go Green

February 2024. The City’s annual Arbor Earth Day Celebration is a springtime community tradition, this year with electric vehicles on display, kids’ activities, live music, a plant giveaway, and free compost available. The event will take place on Saturday, April 20th from 10am – 2pm, at the Thousand Oaks Community Center Park located at 2525 N. Moorpark Road, next to Thousand Oaks High School. This free family-friendly event will include giveaways, raffles, and more!

With the growing popularity and availability of electric vehicles, EV Advocates of Ventura County will host an electric vehicle display where EV owners will display their vehicles and be available to answer your questions and provide first-hand experience and insight on EV ownership. A variety of non-profit and environmentally-focused exhibitors will be participating in the event.

The City’s waste hauler, Athens Services, will be available to answer questions about trash, recycling and organics services and will be giving away free compost! Kids’ activities will include a bicycle safety course and helmet giveaway, recycled arts/crafts activities, recycling games, and the popular Athens’ inflatable trash truck bounce house. Have an unwanted bike lying around at home? Conejo Recreation and Park District will be collecting used bicycles for donation to underserved youth in the Conejo Valley. There will be live music, a native plant giveaway, raffles, and more.
