About

“The environment is where we all meet, where we all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share.” ― Lady Bird Johnson

On Saturday, April 19, 2025, the City of Oakland's Environmental Services Stewardship Team joins the global celebration of Earth Day, a tradition that began in 1970 to raise awareness about environmental issues. Now observed in over 190 countries, Earth Day continues to inspire communities worldwide to take action. In Oakland, volunteers will participate in environmental projects such as tree plantings, weeding, pruning, and habitat restoration throughout the city. As part of this enduring tradition, they’ll also engage in litter cleanup, graffiti removal, and other hands-on activities, making a lasting impact on our environment and community!
