Chad and Riley Nosala prepare to pick up trash on Reservation roadways 2

Great fun for family. Chad and Riley Nosala prepare to pick up trash on Reservation roadways in Lone Pine.

The Lone Pine Paiute-Shoshone Reservation invites the community to participate in the 8th Annual Lone Pine Tribal Earth Day Celebration on Saturday, April 17, 2021 from 9:00AM-12:30PM.

This year’s theme: “Traditional Ecological Knowledge: Live it, Teach it”

Be an inspiration to your friends and especially family. This is also a great excuse to just get outside and end some of the isolation brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.

NOTE: Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Lone Pine Tribal Earth Day Celebration will take place outdoors at the Tribal Community Center parking lot located at 975 Teya Road.
