Feeder Ride to Peck Park Clean Up

Active SGV is teaming up with Nature 4 All, Amigos De Los Rios, San Gabriel Valley Conservation Corps and REI CO-OP to put together a really fun and rewarding bike ride and park clean up!

With your help, your day will include a bike tour of the proposed National Recreation Area and painting/planting and/or invasive plant removal. We will conclude the event with a Lunch that will be provided from the organizers.

Explore, learn and connect with others on Public Lands Day.
