Earth Day a hit @ Cascades



Thanks for all the nice folks who stopped and said hello during the Jackson Area Outdoor Coalition's Earth Day festivities yesterday.

Mary, our new education/outreach coordinator, Randy, and I answered questions, passed out brochures and newsletters, and enjoyed the sunshine (maybe a bit too much in my sunburned case). We also passed out white pine seedlings.




If you were there, hopefully you got some great information from all the groups - like Lynsy (above) from the Jackson Citizen Patriot (and the fab "Livin' Green" blog) and her swell new "Green MI" magazine. Everyone one from the Dahlem Center to the Friends of the Falling Water Trail were on-hand to spread the good word of sustainability and environmental care.




It really was a day for kids, though, with most groups featuring arts and crafts and educational activities. And with the setting in Sparks Park, there was tons of nature and critters and ponds to explore.

A great day. Hope to see you all again next year!
