Earth Day was founded in 1970 as a day of education about environmental issues. This year we celebrate 50 years of this global day to honor the earth.

“We hope our art contest will be one small way to extend the message during these trying times of isolation. More than ever, we realize how much our planet and parks matter to us,” said Sierra State Parks Foundation Executive Director Heidi Doyle.
