Children can play in the inflatable obstacle course, climb a rock wall, create art projects, plant seeds at the West Valley Nursery booth, see wildlife at the Critter Squad booth, and more.  New this year – Food Forward will be collecting backyard fruit to donate to local food pantries and Fleet Street, the bicycle program at Pacific Boys Lodge will conduct free minor bike repairs (so bring your used bikes), and accept donations of used children's and adult bicycles and bike related items. More than 1000 colorful Earth Day Posters will be on display by schoolchildren from five Tarzana Schools that participated in the Earth Day Poster Contest, themed “It Takes a Village to Grow a Garden.”  The theme was chosen to encourage parents and the community to get involved in their local school garden projects.  Poster Contest winners will be announced.
