Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Today is Earth Day!

Since 1970, Earth Day has been observed around the globe every spring as a day to raise environmental awareness and involve citizens and communities in creating a cleaner, healthier world. Whether it’s planting native species, fishing responsibly, or helping at public lands or your own backyard, every effort adds up. There are also plenty of ways to get outside and enjoy nature! Wildlife watching, hiking or biking a nearby trail, or heading out onto the water in a boat, canoe, or kayak are just a few ways to experience the great outdoors and appreciate Earth. What are some ways you’re planning on helping wildlife or connecting with nature this Earth Day?
