Earth Day is Friday, April 22, 2022
Earth Day/Day of the Child is Watsonville's magnificent local celebration, not only of our Earth but also of the youth who stand to inherit the planet for generations to come. Along with many organizations, The Bird Song Project will be hosting a journaling activity booth along with a viewing of mounted bird specimen from UC Santa Cruz's Norris Center for Natural History. The Bird Song Project will also have some of Alta's shade grown organic coffee beans at their booth.
At Alta, we care about where our coffee comes from and that it is shade grown and bird friendly. In study after study, habitat on organic shade grown farms outshone sun grown coffee farms, with increased numbers and species of birds, improved bird habitat, soil protection/erosion control, carbon sequestration, natural pest control and improved pollination. Bird friendly certified organic coffees grown under biodiverse shade provides critical habitats for migratory songbirds and other wildlife.
