On April 22, 1970 over 20 million people took to the streets, parks and auditoriums across America to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment, and to celebrate what became known as Earth Day.  That same year is remembered for the Kent State shootings, the advent of fiber optics, Apollo 13, the Beatles last album, the death of Jimi Hendrix, and more locally, the murder of Armand Yramategui.  Before his tragic death, Mr. Yramategui helped organize the movement that led to the preservation of some of the last remaining natural open space in Pasadena, Texas and to the establishment of the Armand Bayou Nature Center.   Since 1974 annual Earth Day celebrations have been big events for the Nature Center.
