Earth Day 2021: Ideas

By Liza Rodriguez Krontilik April 10, 2021

This year marks the 51st anniversary of Earth Day which is celebrated on April 22nd.  The theme for 2021 is: Restore Our Earth.  However, the goal of this day has always been the same to bring awareness around environmental problems.  It is also a time of action as many organize community clean up efforts, plant trees and just enjoy all that nature has to offer!  

We, in the Putnam area, are fortunate to have access to wonderful hiking areas, lakes and parks all year round.  If you and your family are looking for activities geared more for Earth Day though, I've got a few suggestions that hit upon all ages.  Of course, please be sure to take COVID precautions to stay safe!

Whatever you do though, be sure to have fun and use the day to instill a lifetime love for Mother Nature!
