Every day is Earth Day at the Cibolo

CIBOLO CENTER FOR CONSERVATION

The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, occurred largely because of the efforts of U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin.

Nelson’s concerns about devastating oil spills, air and water pollution, toxic waste dumps, and wildlife extinction led him to promote college campus “teach-ins” on the importance of saving the Earth. April 22 was chosen because it fell comfortably between Spring Break and final exams.
