On Saturday April 24th there are several events that surround the celebration of Earth Day, see below for the details.
United Way of Northwest Michigan needs volunteers to help with the cleanup of an illegal dump site located in our community. The event will be held from 10am until 1pm, the location is still tentative (unfortunately we have lots to choose from). Interested volunteers are asked to dress appropriately, adult sized work gloves will be provided. In the spirit of Earth Day, Bay Area Recycling for Charities will be present to take any material that can be recycled. Volunteers of all ages are welcome. If you are interested in helping with this event please contact Amanda Hilt at 231-947-3200x206 or Amanda@unitedwaynwmi.org.
Little Artshram is holding their annual Earth Day Parade which will begin at 1pm, leaving from Central Grade school. This year’s theme is Pedal Power.

If you would like to be involved in the parade please contact Penny at info@littleartshram.org, workshops are being held on April 10th, 11th, 17th and 18th from Noon until 5pm at the Little Arthsram studio located in building #36 on the State Hospital grounds.
The Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy is hosting a dune restoration bucket brigade at the Arcadia Dunes from 9am until 1pm. This project will involve some heavy lifting.
