Earth Day was established in 1970 by Gaylord Nelson and Denis Hayes. It established the Environmental Policy Act, 

Clean Air, Clean Water, Wilderness, Endangered Species and Scenic Rivers Acts and much more.

Featured Geologist and mine-owner RICHARD COOK will display meteorites, minerals and rocks from his extensive collection. Richard's in-depth discussion includes, SW Nevada volcanism, in relation to the Long Valley Caldera system of the Owens Valley, versus, the Colorado Plateau (Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Grand Wash Cliffs) regions' influence over the Colorado River Extension Corridor's volcanism in SE Nevada and surrounding states.
