We'll see you Sunday for the Jackson Area Outdoor Coalition's second Earth Day celebration.
Stop by our spot at Cascades on Sunday, April 20 from 1 to 4 p.m. We'll be handing out sapling trees and offering information on our services, and recycling in general.
Last year was a hit, and Brad Whaley, executive director of the Dahlem Conservancy, is bragging that this will be twice as big as the 2007 shindig.
“We’re really excited about all of the activities that are planned. We’ll have something there for people of all ages and interest levels,” Brad said. “We’ve got the Grand River Environmental Action Team (GREAT) bringing in their kayaks and canoes for people to try out in the lagoons, Paragon Charter Academy will be conducting a Reuse-A-Shoe drive. We’ll be building blue bird houses, passing out free tree seedlings (quantity limited) for people to plant, and leading birding tours of the park. There will be musicians, storytelling, and visual artists. There will be many other kinds of activities, demonstrations, and fun events happening, really too many to list them all. Twenty five different local groups, agencies and organizations will be there to engage people.”
How about all that for a fun Sunday afternoon? Hopefully the weather is as lovely as it was last year.
Also, Lynsy Smithson-Stanley at the CitPat (and "Livin' Green" fame) will be showcasing her awesome new Green MI magazine. Be sure to pick up a copy.
See you then!
