Unite for Earth Day 2022
For our 2022, we were back in-person.
We had over 85 people participate on Monday, April 25, 2022. Troops, Dens, & Families came and left the Orono Nature Center and Pavilion between 2:30 and 8:00 pm.
​
About 50 participants earned the Free Cabot Creamery "B the Change Patch". Participants learned about B
Corps and businesses that give back.
Thank you to our amazing supporters:
Cabot Creamery for providing the Patches, Vermont Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese Samples, stickers, temporary tattoos, and pencils. Seven Sundays provided their Real Berry Sunflower Cereal or snack. All Seasons Wild Bird Store provided about 50 refurbished birdfeeders, seed, and a great informational poster on Avian Flu. Rainbow Treecare has a super Arborist who volunteered his time, expertise, and labor for our event.​
​
We additionally had many Girl Scouts complete the "Jane Goodall" patch segment of the Because of Her Patch Series. Thank you to our Ambassador Girl Scouts for hosting this.
​
Thank you to everyone who participated and endured the cold weather we had. We had people picking up trash, blowing and raking leaves, clearing debris from trails, moving mulch, spreading mulch on trails, clearing vines blocking trails, removing buckthorn, and more.
​​
We appreciate the volunteer time from our Arborist, Naturalist, and Grounds Staff that supports this event.

We invited Orono & Westonka Scouts, Volunteers, Families, & Friends to complete this year's program with us and celebrate the 52nd Anniversary of Earth Day through "Unite for Earth Day 2022". The theme was "Invest in Our Planet".
​
For participants who completed the "Be the Change" program, they were given Patches and goodies. If you are a local scouting group and want to complete the patch program, we have some extra patches we can give you. If, you are part of a scouting group outside of our local area, you are welcome to utilize our online resources and then order your patches and treats from Cabot yourself. If you do submit for your own patches, please send us feedback, so we know others have used this site to go through our program.
​
Use our website to walk through our updated Unite for Earth Day 2022 program. Go through the Education portions of our program to learn about B Corp certified businesses, complete some individual items for the patch, and do some Conservation.
