MISSION VIEJO, CA — The City of Mission Viejo is known for its pristine lake, lush sceneries and gorgeous inland Orange County views. On Saturday, Mission Viejo residents can help make their town a little bit greener by joining the city in its annual Earth Day and Arbor Day Celebration. Resident volunteers will have the chance to honor Earth Day by planting trees and shrubs at Upper Oso Creek Trail by the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center, the city said in a statement. In addition, Mission Viejo is hosting a Green Expo at Upper Oso Creek Trail that features "earth-friendly activities" and environmental exhibits where residents can learn more about being eco-friendly. Lunch and ice cream will also be served to volunteers while supplies last, the city said. Resident volunteers are asked to bring a hat, gloves, boots and sunscreen. Tools for planting will be provided by the city. To pre-register as a volunteer, residents must fill out an application and waiver form available through the city's website before emailing the completed application to the city. The Earth Day and Arbor Day Celebration takes place from 8 a.m. to noon at the Upper Oso Creek Trail, 24932 Veterans Way.
