Volunteers are invited to join the PARC Foundation in partnership with the Cities of Lacey, Olympia and Tumwater for one of three Earth Day work party events on Saturday, April 23, 2016 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Restoration projects are on-going throughout the year, but it is during Earth Day that we work together in hosting hundreds of volunteers at multiple sites to make a huge impact on the same Day!

The PARC Foundation in partnership with 3Degrees has challenged Thurston County schools to compete for a cash award. The school with the most student representation at the PARC Foundation Earth Day events will be awarded $500 for their school’s ASB.
