In this video at the Shipley Nature Spring Festival, president of the Friends of Shipley Nature Center, Kay Goddard welcomes guests and discusses the history of the center, volunteer hours that have been donated, projects, plans, and a request for help from those interested in volunteering.

 

Spring Festival is an annual celebration of this urban. 18-acre forest in Huntington Beach California's Central Park. Location: 17829 Golden West Street, Huntington Beach, CA. Call: (714) 842-4772.

 

Shipley Nature Center Spring Festival brought together an esteemed group of Huntington Beach citizens. In addition to Kay Goddard, president of the Friends of Shipley Nature Center (FSNC) officiating the festival launch and activities, Norma Brandel Gibbs, a former mayor who was instrumental in creating policies that set aside land for parks in Huntington Beach, and who has a park named after her; Joe Carchio, Huntington Beach City Council member; and Jean Nagy, president of the Huntington Beach Tree Society and board member of FSNC, all take pride in the city's parks, and especially the 18 acre parcel of land that was previously closed due to disrepair.

 

Shipley has come a long way, thanks to these community involved volunteers who work tirelessly and for free to make Huntington Beach an enjoyable, healthy place to live and visit.
