April is Earth Month and Sustainable Bainbridge is celebrating with activities for all ages to raise awareness for Earth Day and Arbor Day.

Along with Earth Day celebrations, throughout the month there will be weed pulls, recycling talks, climate change education, gardening and tree discussions, free invasive weed education and disposal, and nature walks.

Take pictures and share your Earth Month actions using the hashtag #EarthMonthBI when posting on social media. A news release says the goal is to “inspire everyone to protect our trees, our environment.”
