Earth Day Mountain Cleanup

Happy Earth Day! Come celebrate our home with a bit of Spring cleaning this April 21. As inhabitants of this planet we have an obligation to it. We could not survive without the warm embrace of Earth, which is why we are going to give back! By removing refuse, we can return nature back to its original glory, and allow it to interface unhindered by human presence. With your help, we can be a part of the change necessary for progress.

To begin, we will meet at 11 Elevation Jiu Jitsu in Wrightwood CA. Gloves and bags will be provided for volunteers upon arrival. We will then discuss the locations we want to cleanup and develop a strategy.

WHERE: 11 Elevation Jiu Jitsu, 6069 Park Dr, Wrightwood CA, 92397

WHEN: April 21, Sunday from 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

WHAT TO BRING: Water, sun protection (hat / sunscreen / long sleeve), close toed shoes, and a good attitude!

Escuela de la Tierra or Earth School, started in 2016 with Nature Reconnection’s first rewilding summer camp in Wrightwood. The rewilding summer camps ran for 3 successful years in Wrightwood. The pandemic and other factors forced this program to take a pause while its instructors traveled to other countries to teach. During this unplanned pause in our children’s programs, we created something we believe will be more impactful and consistent. Escuela de la Tierra is an ongoing program with weekly classes, a full curriculum, and a ranking structure to progress students up to a level of survivalist. The sky is the limit at Escuela de la Tierra.

Our Mission:
At Earth School our mission is to preserve the skills and knowledge that allows humans to thrive in nature.

Come learn about the native and invasive plants growing in our wild areas within the San Gabriel Mountains. We will meet at 4:00 pm in the cooler part of the day and take a hike through the southern wilderness areas above Wrightwood, California. We will talk about each plant we pass by on the trail and you will leave with a plethora of plant knowledge! We suggest bringing a notebook to write down plant names, and plant uses for your future study and reference. Also, bring water and dress prepared for a light hike.

This 4-hour class will tour the Wrightwood mountains under a geologic lens with instructor and geologist Carter Hafif. We will take a look at the large-scale geologic events that have taken place to form the San Gabriel mountains, and how it has influenced local mineralogy.

Geared for kids ages 7-14, this class has multiple parts:

1) Lecture on local macro geology

2) Hike to visualize lecture topics

3) Lab to reinforce material

Please make sure to bring a backpack with a writing utensil and a notebook. Each participant is expected to bring a lunch, and 2 Liters of water. The lecture will begin at the trailhead for approximately 30 min with the hike consuming the majority of our class.

Location will be released via email upon enrollment.

We are excited to have you in this one-of-a-kind class!
