Celebrating the Earth through learning, community service and fun for all ages!

On Sunday April 22nd, 2012, Riverbend Environmental Education Center will be celebrating Earth Day by showcasing the wonders of trees and how people can care for them. From 1:00-4:00 pm families are invited (for free!) to come to Riverbend’s tucked away location at 1950 Spring Mill Road to learn about the importance of trees, participate in service opportunities and enjoy activities for children and adults.

Riverbend enjoys celebrating their mission of teaching environmental principals to children through hands on learning and events that unites their local community. At Trees are Treemendous!,  breakout sessions will be led by experts in the field about the benefits of trees, the importance of native vs. non-native trees and plants, choosing trees for your landscape and more!

Throughout the afternoon fun activities for children will be going on including crafts, scavenger’s hunts and our Tall, Tall Trees Program; which teaches children the fundamentals about trees and their importance to the environment. Riverbend will also provide service opportunities for people such as planting saplings and cutting invasive, non-native vines off of trees.
