On March 25th, 2000, twenty-five members of the Esprit-de-Four 4-Wheel Drive Club and friends took part in their 3rd annual Earth Day Cleanup at Hollister Hills SVRA.

This year's cleanup effort was planned early to help celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Hollister Hills SVRA, which happened on April 1st. Esprit-de-Four helps with many conservation projects and the one activity that gets their name in print is the Off Road Safety Clinic conducted at Hollister Hills SVRA park twice a year. The Off Road Safety Clinics help new 4x4 owners become acquainted with their vehicles and learn and practice valuable off-highway driving skills.

The Earth Day Cleanup is Esprit-de-Four's way of giving back to the park. Esprit-de-Four club members greatly appreciate the on going help that the Hollister Hills SVRA staff members provide for the Off Road Safety Clinics. This year, Esprit-de-Four celebrates the 12th year for holding Off Road Safety Clinics at Hollister Hills SVRA. Future Off Road Safety Clinics are scheduled for May 6 and 7 and September 9 and 10, 2000. Additional information for those clinics is available at the Esprit-de-Four 4-Wheel Drive Club's web site.

Esprit-de-Four 4-Wheel Drive Club is based in San Jose in the Silicon Valley of California and has members from all over Northern California with Associate Members from as far away as Alaska. They meet for the purpose of social, recreational, and educational activities and to enjoy and protect our natural resources. One of their members is a past Board Member of Tread Lightly!.
