Marion County Environmental Services Hosts Free Community Event for Earth Day
KEIZER, OR – Join Marion County Environmental Services on April 26, 2024, from 3-7p.m. for a free community event held at Spong’s Landing Park. This year’s theme “Build a Brighter Future,” will highlight reduce, reuse, recycle, and repair efforts to help protect the environment.
This family-friendly event will include interactive presentations from local agencies, bird house building, guided nature walks, face painting, a baby goat petting zoo, arts and crafts, and more. Free ice cream from On Any Sundae will be served in reusable containers that participants will get to take home as souvenirs.
For those looking to celebrate Earth Day before April 26, Marion County Environmental Services has launched a Passport to Sustainability program. This digital passport contains 24 activities with tips and actions to help the environment every day. For each completed activity, participants will earn points that they can redeem for sustainable prizes while supplies last. For kids interested in Earth Day activities and earning fun prizes, the Passport to Sustainability for Kids is full of learning opportunities and encouragement to get outside and explore natural spaces.
For more information on this event, including additional resources on how to help the environment in Marion County, check out the event website.
