On Friday, April 21, the Stockton Environmental Club partnered with Stockton Action Volunteers for the Environment organization (S.A.V.E.) to host the annual ECO Fest, celebrating and moving towards a greener future on the eve of the official 2023 Earth Day celebration. 

During the event, there were stations for many activities like arts and crafts, succulents for sale, and a rock climbing wall. Additionally, refreshments were provided at the event.

Other events included Canoe sessions in Lake Fred, hiking trails, and a dunk tank; President of the Environmental Club Sophia Bradach was the unfortunate dunk tank victim for the event. Bradach volunteered to be dunked to raise money to plant new trees. Participants paid $2 for one toss and $5 for three.

The Environmental Club hopes to be able to host this event and partner with S.A.V.E next year and in the years to come.
