On March 8 – 9, 2008 ArtPlantae Books participated in the Los Angeles Environmental Education Fair. Thousands of children and their parents attended the fair at the LA County Arboretum & Botanic Garden. ArtPlantae Books provided Sketching Stations for visitors and artists both young and old stopped to draw, paint, and learn more about ArtPlantae and its mission. We had a great time meeting with educators, parents, and children. We also had the good fortune to learn about organizations who dedicate themselves to educating members of the public about their environment. Organizations such as: Kathy’s Critters, The Children’s Nature Institute, Catalina Island Conservancy, Monrovia Canyon Park, Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, Boojum Institute, Eaton Canyon Natural Area, The Southwestern Herpetologists Society, Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, Project WET USA, BugArtbySteven.com, American Red Cross, Girl Scouts of America, San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District, United States Department of Energy, Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, Los Angeles County Fire Department (Forestry Division), and The Association for Environmental and Outdoor Education. Just to name a few!
The Los Angeles Environmental Education Fair is organized by the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Forestry Division and is held each year at the LA County Arboretum & Botanic Garden.
