Would you like to reduce your "plastic footprint" on our landfills, while finding a way to better enjoy the birds in your backyard? Help us celebrate Earth Day. Bring the kids to the park and learn how you can help keep our environment clean, as well as help our local wildlife. Participate in fun activities where you'll learn to re-purpose items that might otherwise have ended up in the landfill. Here is a great way to turn trash to 'treasure'. Learn how to make a soda bottle bird feeder using recyclable materials. Learn more about polystyrene (#6 recyclable), and how you can re-use it to create a "shrinky-dink" necklace. All activities are free, but regular parking fees apply.
