How better to celebrate the Earth than to taste its local fruits while simultaneously reducing the carbon generated to make your lunch. Created in 1977 by local farmers, the Ukiah market is the first Certified Farmers’ Market in Mendocino County.

The Culinary Arts Management students, under the direction of instructor Nicholas Petti (Mendo Bistro, Fort Bragg), hold an open house to demonstrate cooking with local, sustainable foods. Open to the public as well as students and faculty.

Join Saracina Vineyards’ hiking squad on Saturday, April 21, 2012, for a morning hike through Saracina Vineyards’ scenic 600-acre estate. This four-mile spring hike will be moderately strenuous on gently rolling terrain. Join us in observing Earth Day’s promotion of active lifestyles and healthy living.

Do your bit for Mother Earth on Earth Day by breaking out your shovel, pulling on your boots, and heading to the trailhead! Join UVTG in a workday on one of the many trails in the Ukiah Valley. UVTG’s network of interconnected trails offer residents of all physical abilities the opportunity to get out and exercise and experience our beautiful environment.

Come celebrate Earth Day 2012 with The Gardens Project of NCO! The Gardens Project will be hosting volunteer opportunities at different school and community gardens around Ukiah. We will be building new gardens and enhancing existing gardens. If you want to get your hands in the dirt, help to advance our local food system and create a healthy community, come join us!
