Corps members help with Bolsa Chica Earth Day

The Orange County Conservation Corps donated a team of seven members to assist with the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve’s Earth Day family fun event last Saturday.

The Bolsa Chica Conservancy and the Corps have had a long-standing collaborative relationship, the Conservancy’s Executive Director Grace Adams said, including habitat restoration and education activities. In turn, the Corps members learn more about environmental conservation.

A small, privately funded Corps crew has worked at Bolsa Chica since 2006, but future projects are jeopardized due to a lack of funding.

For more information, call Corps Executive Director Max Carter at (888) 641-2677.
