SUMMARY:Bidwell Park & Chico Creeks Clean Up Day
DESCRIPTION:Help us protect Butte County Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) by volunteering your time to remove trash and other harmful toxins that pollute our waters and negatively affect the plants and animals who rely on cool\, clean\, healthy waters to thrive! \nGDEs are rapidly diminishing due to urban sprawl — and these GDEs play a critical role in supporting a wide range of species including fish\, birds\, mammals\, and riparian vegetation.  The habitat loss for local keystone species\, such as Valley Oaks and Spring Run Chinook Salmon\, is significant and devastating.  Valley Oaks\, for example\, are vital to the GDE as they support over 5\,000 other species through food and habitat provision. \nClean-up tools will be provided\, and volunteers will receive a free unique event t-shirt! \nSign-up online at our Event Website link below! \n*All volunteers will enjoy Costco pizza on us after the event\, from 12-1pm

SUMMARY:From The Ground Up: Kentfield Kids
DESCRIPTION:Kentfield Kids is a free opportunity for your kids to get hands-on learning about how our food grows and how it grows them! From toddlers to teens\, all ages are welcome to dig their fingers in the soil. \nAt From The Ground Up Farms\, we started a nutrition education and garden program for Butte County Home Schoolers and toddlers in order to provide a safe space to teach our children about nutrition and growing food.

The kids have so much fun that they don’t even realize the science\, math\, nutrition\, physical fitness\, and so many other lessons that are included in the process of growing food. \nAll children are welcome and this is a free program. \nVisit our Event Website link for more information. \nAnd to learn more about how this amazing venture began\, read the founder’s story at: \nNorth State Parent : North State Parent April 2025 \n No registration is required.  \n  \n
