It’s Latino Conservation Week! This week is a chance to celebrate the Latinx community’s commitment to protecting our land and waters, raise awareness on important conservation issues, and empower a new and diverse generation of environmental stewards.

Ok… let’s see about finding you some Saturday to-dos.

Below you’ll find our top three picks for today (July 16) in Los Angeles, followed by a bullet list of seven other quick ideas to consider. Hope you find something to your liking.

As part of Latino Conservation Week, join in for Morning Acequia Hike Along the San Juan Acequia! Saturday, July 16th, from 8am to 11am. Meet at Padre Park- 6515 Padre Dr. San Antonio, Texas 78214. Hike with the group on this educational 6-mile round trip walk along Mission San Juan’s historic acequias. Halfway through the hike the group will meet Mission San Juan and if you would like to stay to explore the mission before turning around to return to Padre Park with the group you may do that.
