Unite for Earth Day 2023

Unite for Earth Day 2023

​

For our 2023, we were back in-person.  We had over 80 people participate on Monday, April 24, 2023.  Troops, Dens, Crews, & 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 "Gratitude" patch.  Participants learned about the importance of expressing gratitude in both words and actions.  Our Kindergarten Daisy Girl Scouts worked on their "Make the World a Better Place" petal badge. Our Scouts BSA & Venturers earned conservation hours.​

Thank you to our amazing supporters:

Cabot Creamery for providing the Patches, Vermont Sharp Cheddar Cheese Samples, stickers, temporary tattoos, chip clips, pencils, and coupons.  

All Seasons Wild Bird Store provided lots of refurbished birdfeeders, birdseed, and information.  

Earth Breeze donated full packages of their Laundry Detergent Eco Sheets for everyone.  

Rainbow Treecare has a super Arborist who volunteered his time, expertise, and labor for our event.​ 

Orono School Forestry Committee chair who shared his expertise and taught participants to clean up the pollinator garden and divide plants. 

Special shout-outs to:
