April 20: Planet vs. Plastics - Earth Day Exhibit at Caldwell Park

The Redding Field Office will be participating in an event put on by nonprofit partners, Shasta Environmental Alliance at Caldwell Park on Saturday, April 20 from 11 am to 4 pm. This year’s Earth Day theme is Planet vs. Plastics to educate the public about the threats that plastics, especially microplastics, pose to our environment.  

The BLM will have a booth where we share what projects our office is working on and new recreation developments. We will be asking all exhibitors and food vendors not to bring single-use plastic items to this year’s event. We will be inviting 5 artists to exhibit paintings with an environmental or outdoor natural theme, and we will have a few food vendors. Once again, we will have music but will arrange the setup so we will not have booths too close to the music so exhibitors can easily converse with people at their booths. As usual, we will have many exhibits, games, and activities for young children, but we will be adding a few activities for middle school children as well.
