How to Celebrate Napa Valley Earth Day

Spring in the Napa Valley is a truly glorious experience. The mustard is blooming, the vines are budding, and the hills are lush and green. What better way to honor this beauty then to celebrate Earth Day in the Napa Valley? 

Go Green!
There are plenty of opportunities to "go green" in Napa. You could ride your bike to work for the week or taking our very reliable (if slow) public transit - the Napa Valley Vine. 
A favorite Earth Day tradition is to plant a local tree. In the Napa Valley, that would probably mean one of several species of oak that seems to flourish here. Did you know that a tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide in a single year? Sure, grapevines support the Napa Valley but trees support the planet!

Clean Up!
Earth Day in Napa means cleaning up the creeks, streets and the Napa River. Volunteers are needed and can meet up at 11am at the following areas:

• Napa Creek- Behind Firefighter's Museum at the corner of Main and Pearl Streets. 
• Kennedy Park, boat ramp
• South Wetlands, end of Jefferson St.
• Riverside Drive, at Elm St.

 Kayak Napa Valley has donated the use of their kayaks to anyone who wants to clean up the river from the water! 

Got a Napa dog? Why multi-task some walk time with some clean up time?
