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.
Earth Month 2024 Highlights:
Picked up 609 pounds of trash at our three plogging events (that’s over 1200 pounds since 2022)
1,400 seedlings were planted in Newport & Bristol Counties (that’s over 4,400 seedlings since 2022)
Distributed 75 rain barrels, which will divert thousands of gallons of polluted stormwater from the watershed (that’s 200 rain barrels since 2022)
