The Mt. Helix Park Foundation recently made the following announcement:

Join us for the Fourth Annual East County Earth Day.  You won’t want to miss this free, family-fun event to be held at Mt. Helix Park and Amphitheater. 

Co-hosted by The Jarrett Meeker and Mt. Helix Park Foundations, East County Earth Day will feature eco-friendly vendors such as Birch Aquarium, The California Wolf Center and I Love A Clean San Diego with interactive environmental and wildlife presentations.
