Together, we can make Transcendence events at Jack London State Historic Park one of the most environmentally friendly events in Sonoma County!
Recycling & Compost
We recycle! When disposing of your waste take an extra minute to drop recyclables in blue recycling bins and any remaining items in black trash bins. This extra second makes a profound impact on the waste that leaves our events.
We also encourage you to bring reusable water bottles! Leave the plastic bottles at home and save the waste.
