“Science in the Streets: Sacramento Community Service and Science Walk”
Join visiting environmental scientists and the Sacramento community to learn about how your everyday decisions impact the health of our environment. We’ll explore downtown Sacramento and learn about the connection between our streets and our local waterways, and clean up the downtown streets as we go. We’ll end our trash cleanup back at the Convention Center, where there will be an opportunity to meet and talk to scientists about the latest research on environmental pollution that will be on display at their annual conference being held in Sacramento this year, as well as learn about careers opportunities in environmental science.

Who should attend: Everyone! Families are welcome. Multiple trash pick-up routes will be available depending on participant needs. This is a great opportunity for all ages to learn about the environment and the activities of scientists from around the world.

When: 2:00-4:30 p.m., Sunday, November 4

Where: Meeting point is the Sacramento Convention Center, 1400 J Street, West Lobby
