Unite for Earth Day 2023- Education
For 2023, we held in person Education stations with the theme of "Invest in Our Planet" focusing on "Gratitude".
Besides the great Gratitude Patch Program and all the donated goodies from Cabot Creamery including chees samples, we had other donations. All Seasons Wild Bird Store donated birdfeeders, birdseed, and information. Earth Breeze donated packages of their Laundry Detergent Eco-Sheets as a way to reduce plastic use.
We had a Girl Scout Brownie Troop host a Wildflower Seed Bomb making station. Our Ambassador Girl Scout Troops shared information about Tree Equity, Recycling Plastics, Eco-Friendly Products and Packaging, and Animal Rights.
Our Daisy Girl Scouts worked on their "Make the World a Better Place" petal badge. Our Scouts BSA & Venturers earned conservation hours.
If you missed our event or doing the Gratitude stations, you can follow the program through our website and earn the patch.
Thank you to everyone who participated and to our amazing supporters.
Unite for Earth Day 2023- Conservation
Our In-person Session for 2023 was completing conservation cleanup projects. The theme was "Invest in Our Planet" while cleaning up the Orono Nature Center.
Thank you to everyone who participated. We had people picking up trash, clearing debris from trails, clearing vines blocking trails, removing buckthorn, cleaning up the pollinator garden, dividing plants, and more.
We appreciate all our volunteers plus the volunteer time from our Arborist from Rainbow Trees, Orono School Forestry Committee, and School Grounds Staff that supported this event.
Photos from our event will be posted in our Event Gallery (current delay based on storage space for a free WiX website). If you would like to submit any photos for the gallery, please email them to uniteforearthday@gmail.com.
