"The Bolsa Chica Project"

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA -- The Bolsa Chica Land Trust seeks funds for a massive single-day donation to help preserve and restore the Bolsa Chica this Earth Day 4-22-09. This will be the largest single-day donation to help save and restore an ecosystem in U.S. history.  95% of the coastal wetlands in California have been destroyed.  Maybe we can't undo all the injustice we have done to this earth, but we can start here in our community. We can show others as well that they, too, have the power to help preserve, maintain and restore our earth.

We are asking 100,000 people to donate $50.00 or more on April 22 to reach a goal of five million dollars in one day. Achieving this goal will help us further restore this salt marsh ecosystem and fund the Bolsa Chica Project.  It will launch us on the path towards funding the complete restoration and protection of Bolsa Chica, which has been estimated at 50 million dollars.
