Earth Day in Irvine

Happy Earth Day, Irvine! This year marks the 52nd anniversary of this celebration, and Irvine is proud to be a City working toward a more resilient climate this month and all year! As part of this year’s theme, Invest in Our Planet, we are also investing in our own community and making sure residents have access to numerous tangible opportunities to help Irvine obtain its goal of carbon neutrality by 2030. Help us better our City, community, and planet for generations to come.
Join us and Irvine Ranch Conservancy tomorrow, Saturday, April 23, at Quail Hill to keep Earth Day celebrations going. Enjoy free guided hikes at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. through our gorgeous open space preserve. At noon, guests can learn about composting during a free demonstration.
No RSVP is needed for this event, but guests will need to register on-site for the hikes. Space is limited, so arrive early to sign up! Learn more at cityofirvine.org/earthday.
