Environmental Education Fair at the Arboretum

Learn how to live a more sustainable lifestyle through food, music, art and educational workshops. The Los Angeles Environmental Education Fair takes place Saturday at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden.

Now in its 34th year, the fair seeks to show people how small tweaks can make any lifestyle more environmentally friendly at little to no inconvenience.

"We're all in this together," Youth Education Coordinator Ted Tegart told Patch. "If everybody gets together and does their part…we can all protect and save our environment. We need to do it together. We can't do it by ourselves."

There will be plenty of interactive activities for young and old alike, including a docent-led Mediterranean hike and several animal shows. Highlights include a moss paint mural and an African ball-python snake.
