Make and Take projects for children feature Bird Houses, Nature Weaving, Mason Bee Houses, and Native Seed Planting.

Visit more than 30 exhibitors to learn more about our earth, the environment, and the importance of conservation. All programs are free and open to the public.

BRING USED ELECTRONICS FOR SAFE DISPOSAL

E-Waste contains hazardous materials that end up in our soil, water, and air, when they are disposed of improperly. A trailer will be outside the former West Elementary School near the library, collecting computer equipment, cables, DVD players, scanners, routers and other e-waste.

The Earth Week Plus mission is to educate and provide information about endangered species, invasive species, best conservation practices, scientific study of the Great Lakes, recycling, energy, soil, water quality, and more.

For thirteen years, Earth Week Plus volunteers have secured funding to sponsor educational programs—all free and open to the public. Participants top a thousand people yearly.
