Fairview Park Wetlands Ribbon-cutting Wednesday

WETLANDS RIBBON-CUTTING

One of the more interesting events occurring in a very busy, short week in Costa Mesa will be the ribbon-cutting at the Fairview Park Wetlands, scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 20th.  Here is the invitation.  Click on each image for easier reading.

THE PUBLIC IS INVITED
This event marks the grand opening of a remarkable environmental asset in Costa Mesa and the public is invited to attend.  Here's an image of the site.  The ribbon-cutting will be held at the confluence of five trails beside Placentia Avenue in the center of the image.

PARK-AND-RIDE TO THE SITE
Because parking is limited in the Fairview Park parking lot, and is more than a short walk to the site, arrangements have been made to provide parking for this event at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 2775 Placentia Avenue, and for bus transportation to take visitors to and from the ceremony.  Buses will begin operating around 2:00 p.m. according to Alma Reyes, the Costa Mesa city staffer coordinating this event.

GUIDED TOUR
Part of this ribbon-cutting will include a guided walk around the wetlands venue, so visitors are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes.  Let's hope the weather cooperates and doesn't wash out this very interesting, worthwhile event.  The explanatory image below is taken from the City of Costa Mesa web site and is courtesy of Scott Brown, The Orange County Register.
