Our Earth Month programming runs each year throughout the month of April with the goal of helping our environment!
It has been fifty-four years since the first Earth Day in 1970. At that time, the idea to bring the environment to the forefront of the U.S. political conversation was revolutionary. Today, much has been achieved on helping our environment, yet there is much work to do.

Rain Barrel Events
For the sixth year we are hosting rain barrel workshops for local residents to learn how to make their own rain barrels and then take them home. These barrels collect stormwater for use in gardens and on lawns.
Rain barrels can be purchased through EventBrite.
Upcoming Workshop Dates Include:
Middletown - Apil 26, 2025 (Rain date: April 27, 2025)
Bristol - May 3, 2025 (Rain date: May 4, 2025)
