After a three-year hiatus, Inland Empire Utilities Agency and the City of Chino’s Annual Earth Day Event is returning to its original, in-person format at the Chino Creek Wetlands and Educational Park!

The event will take place over a two-day period:

Wednesday, April 19, 2023 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. through Thursday, April 20, 2023 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Wednesday’s event will be for assigned schools participating in the Water Discovery Program and Thursday’s event will be for the public.

The event provides fun, interactive opportunities for the public to learn how they can be environmental stewards and protect natural resources. Students and the public will learn about water resources, how compost benefits the soil, the diversity and importance of the region’s habitat, and the importance of proper recycling. The student event provides opportunities to participate in the Water Discovery Program with engaging lessons and activities about the water cycle, recycling, animals and habitats, wetlands, and water usage. Students will experience an animal encounter, enjoy an environmental show, and observe the wetlands and its functions.

The public event includes environmental exhibits, free giveaways, hands-on earth-friendly activities, community performances, animal encounters, and much more.

*Spaces are limited for Student Day (Wednesday). Please contact Yvonne Lam at ylam@ieua.org for more information or to reserve a spot for your class.
