This Earth Day, make sure you don’t forget to shoutout Earth for keeping us all grounded. Sorry, that pun was on a low-hanging branch.
Alright — all terra-ble jokes aside, Earth Day is on Tuesday, April 22 and many Seattle organizations and community groups are hosting events that celebrate our local natural wonders and working to keep them nice and green.
Let’s dig into a few highlights.
Earth Day at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery | Saturday, April 19 | Learn about some of Washington’s most prolific animals by feeding some trout, doing a scavenger hunt, and helping with habitat restoration projects — we also hear that a mermaid will be in attendance.
Earth Day Fun Run at Magnuson Park | Saturday, April 19 | After you get your blood pumping, you’ll be given your own native tree sapling to plant yourself or donate to the park.
Ladybug Festival | Saturday, April 26 | You’d be hard-pressed to find a cuter Earth Day event — help release hundreds of little lady bugs into the environment while learning about the importance of pollinators.
