The purpose of this event is to aid the citizens of Leon Valley and the surrounding areas in developing a sustainable way of life in harmony with the natural surroundings by:

- Providing information to manage household waste, water and energy conservation, and improving air quality.

- Providing education and support in developing landscape xeriscaping, organic gardening, and native plant gardening.

- Encouraging community support for alternative transportation, waste reduction, and recycled materials.

This year’s theme is “TREES – Safeguarding our Air, Water, Land, & Community.”  There will be earth-friendly educational/tree-wise speakers, exhibitor booths, food booths, a Tree Poetry Contest, earth-friendly arts and crafts for the kids, entertainment, and free admission, making this a family-friendly fun event.
