Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970 as an act of support for environmental protection. Now, more than 50 years later, Earth Day events are attended by over a billion people worldwide. What better way to celebrate this year than to visit your local Preserve!

Immerse yourself in nature and learn about topics such as clean water initiatives, sustainability, native plants and pollinators, wildlife conservation, and more! Plant seeds to take home, watch a birds of prey demonstration, and participate in a “BioBlitz” to learn more about biodiversity within the Preserve.

Rain date: April 24. Cost: FREE! No registration required. Appropriate for all ages.
