People celebrating nature in community... How did the Procession begin?
In January, 1995, a group of Olympia residents wanted to organize an event both to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Earth Day and to support Congressional renewal of the Endangered Species Act. The group decided on a positive statement of support in the form of a community celebration. They developed ideas for action and agreed on several basic tenets along with three simple rules. These became the group's working principles. The Procession of the Species Celebration was born!
What are the three rules?
- No written words
- No live pets
- No motorized vehicles
