“This day is designed to teach both children and adults simple actions they can take every day to make our world greener and cleaner,” said event co-chair Diana Plaxsun.
“We’re excited for this year’s lineup of groups who all have something different to offer in ways that are both entertaining and educational.”
Activities this year include: a community art project using recycled materials, performances by Sova Dance and Puppet Theater, ponding, animal encounters, a children’s StoryWalk, seed planting, and more.
Groups attending include: Essential Earth Farm, Peet’s Bees, Stoneledge Farm, Darien Pollinator Pathway, Monarch Watch, Darien Recycling Center, Darien Land Trust, Rent the Chicken, and Darien Parks & Recreation. Many of the Nature Center’s program educators will also be there to spend time with you and your children!
