On Trail With Inc. Hosts 6th Annual Earth Day Clean Up Event
Earthchella 2026
Southern California's Largest Community Earth Day Cleanup
THE STORY
Earthchella 2026
What started as a simple vision became one of Southern California's largest community-led Earth Day celebrations.
On Sunday April 26, 2026 More than 200 volunteers from across Southern California gathered with a shared purpose: To leave our public lands cleaner than we found them.
Thirteen hiking crews spread across trails and green spaces before reuniting at Elysian Park to celebrate a day of stewardship, community, music, food, and environmental education.
By the end of the day, we had removed more than 600 pounds of litter from our parks and trails while inspiring hundreds of people to become lifelong environmental advocates.
Be part of something bigger. Be a part of the movement. Volunteer with us to help restore our natural spaces, connect with your community, and celebrate a day dedicated to protecting the outdoors we love.

Earth Day Response 2025
Why This Matters for OTW
Hansen Dam is emblematic of a hidden environmental crisis: a public space loaded with potential, hampered by neglect and pollution.
Earth Day Cleanup
Since 2021, On Trail With (OTW) has led an annual Earth Day Cleanup at Hansen Dam — mobilizing volunteers to restore the space, raise awareness, and inspire stewardship.
On Trail With’s regular cleanups serve as a frontline response—restoring safety, beauty, and ecological resilience one volunteer hour at a time.
Largest Cleanup Ever
In 2025, OTW celebrated its 5th anniversary with its largest cleanup yet:
72 volunteers united -
500+ pounds of trash removed in a single morning -
Countless families, hikers, and community members - engaged in conversation about conservation and trail respect.
