The Friends had an exhibit (our first ever!) at the Sustainable Claremont / City of Claremont Earth Day celebration on April 14 in the Claremont Village. We hope you were able to drop by and check out the draft of the new Wilderness Park map, chat with the Friends, and learn about volunteer activities.
