We’re excited to announce our annual Earth Day of Action and EcoFest on April 18, 2026. Volunteering will take place from 9-11AM at various sites along the San Mateo County coast and in Foster City. EcoFest will take place from 10AM-2PM at Linda Mar State Beach in Pacifica.

Five ways to make a difference during PBC’s Earth Day and EcoFest on April 18:

4. Sign up for a volunteer opportunity.

Volunteering will take place from 9-11AM at various beach cleanup and habitat restoration sites. View the schedule below and register for an event. Be sure to submit a signed waiver for each participating volunteer in your household. This helps us bring the right amount of supplies to each location. Due to the large volume of volunteers at many of our locations, please bring gloves, buckets, and optional trash grabbers/pickup sticks.

5. Join a community of likeminded people at EcoFest.

This family-friendly event takes place at Linda Mar State Beach from 10AM-2PM. It features guest speakers, activities for all ages, music, beach trash art, info booths, and so much more.

• Remove invasive weeds.
• Use alternatives to pesticides such as neem oil.
• Compost your green waste and use it to build a healthy and biologically diverse soil.
• Reduce waste by buying less, reusing items, and recycling materials.
