On Saturday, April 22, Lopez Island Conservation Corps invites the community to join the seventh annual Procession of the Species. The procession kicks off promptly at 3:30 p.m., so plan to arrive at 3 to get set up.

To participate in the procession, all you need is a costume or adornments that display any living thing — animal, plant, fungus — that is wearable while walking. Please, no written words, motors and living animals. This is a free, all-ages event, rain or shine, and open to all.

Need help creating your costume? In partnership with the school, LICC is sponsoring a costume-making workshop in the school’s art room on Saturday, April 15 from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. A LICC representative will be on site to advise, assist and provide art materials to bring your creativity to life. Children must be accompanied by their parents. The procession will begin and end at Lopez Village Water Tower Park. Animal costumes and accessories will be available before the parade for those who haven’t had the chance to make their own. Spectators are also very welcomed. This Earth Day celebration is sponsored by the Lopez Conservation Corps and Lopez Prevention Coalition . For more information about this event contact Erin Licata, erin@sjicd.org.
