Celebrate Earth Day at Pioneers Park Nature Center
To celebrate the 36th anniversary of Earth Day, the mobile environmental education center will visit the Pioneers Park Nature Center parking lot from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 22. The visit is sponsored by the City Recycling Office and Midland Recycling.
"One of the fun activities for kids is making paper," said City Recycling Coordinator Gene Hanlon. "The kids really enjoy it, and it gives us an opportunity to talk to them about how paper is recycled. We'll also have lots of information on recycling and resource conservation, so I encourage the public to visit the education center and celebrate Earth Day."
At 2 p.m., the Nature Center will offer a free guided hike called "Earth Day Every Day." No reservations are necessary, but groups of eight or more are asked to call in advance.
