Parlier had some real shining stars for this June 2004 Wilderness Ambassador Project. Francisco,Jessica, Lawrence and Olga from WildLink's Expedition IV,2004,played their ambassador role in a multi-cultural celebration of Wilderness in California's Great Central Valley on June 26, 2004. This event allowed underserved youth and family members from the Fresno area to spend an afternoon and an evening celebrating Wilderness at Fresno’s Grizzly baseball stadium.

The participating 550 children and families were given tickets to attend a Fresno Grizzly baseball game. During the game, the fans participated in an Education Fair with exhibits and demos highlighting the National Wilderness Preservation System and its values and relevance to their lives. WildLink also provided a portable climbing wall for this group of 550 underserved youth and family members, in addition to the general public attending the game. Four WildLink student alumni from Parlier High School and WildLink staff hosted a wilderness education booth, through which all participants had to pass before climbing on the rock wall.

In addition to celebrating wilderness with education, the entire stadium also sang Happy Birthday to Wilderness in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Wilderness Act, and a cake was accepted on its behalf by the local WildLink student alumni. More than 750 people had a direct educational experience about wilderness as a result of this event, and up to 19,000 of the general public were exposed to the idea of wilderness.

These Wilderness Ambassadors' duties included helping at the climbing wall (and doing some great climbing themselves), educating hundreds of people in one-on-one wilderness lessons, and leading wilderness-related games with the 150 youth who stayed the night at the stadium. They committed themselves to a multitude of planning meetings, which they all cheerfully and faithfully attended, and brought a wealth of experience and knowledge to hundreds of kids who really needed it. Thank you, Olga, Jessica, Francisco and Lawrence. You are the kind of people who will ensure that our wilderness will be here for generations to come.
