The City’s Arbor Earth Day celebration returns this spring, with electric vehicles on display, a plant giveaway, and free compost available. The event will take place on Saturday, April 15th from 9am – 1pm, at the Thousand Oaks Community Center located at 2525 N. Moorpark Road, next to Thousand Oaks High School. This free family-friendly event will include educational workshops on water-conserving landscaping, kids’ activities, giveaways, raffles, and more!
With the growing popularity and availability of electric vehicles, EV Advocates of Ventura County will host an electric vehicle display area where EV owners will display their vehicles and be available to answer questions and provide first-hand experience and insight on EV ownership. Workshops will teach residents how to care for landscaping in a drought, install drip irrigation, and select drought-tolerant ground covers. The City’s waste hauler, Athens Services, will be available to answer questions about trash, recycling and organics collection services and will be giving away free compost. Kids’ activities will include the Glen Garvin bicycle safety course, recycled arts/crafts, recycling games, and the popular Athens’ inflatable trash truck bounce house. Conejo Recreation and Park District (CRPD) will host a bicycle donation booth where they will be accepting new or used bicycles which will be donated to underserved Conejo Valley youth. There will be live music, a native plant giveaway, raffles, and more.
