Well, this Spring is shaping up to be FULL of activities. We are fast approaching Earth Day and your local BFBL Chapter is hot on the trail of attending numerous Earth Day activities.
To start us off, we will be at the PASA Booth location this Saturday, April 17th, from 11:00 – 2:00 planting seeds with kids! The Wayne County PASA group is an active team and they have organized a fun event for children. Be sure to come and visit us. You can pick up information on the BFBL Chapter and/or membership information as well. Here’s the scoop: Earth Day Celebration, PPL Environmental Learning Center (the Center is located at Lake Wallenpaupack–enter PPL Drive, which is between the high school on Route 6 and the Route 6 intersection with Route 590), Time: 10:00 – 3:00, bring your kids to plant tomato and sunflower seeds!
On April 20th, Elaine Tweedy and Maria Montenegro will staff a table at the University of Scranton’s Earth Day event held on Dionne Green (just off the DeNaples student Center patio). We will be giving out BFBL buttons and bumper stickers to new members who sign up at the event.
On April 22nd, Maria Montenegro will attend the King’s College Earth Day celebration on the campus green (center of campus). All BFBL materials will be displayed, and information on the Chapter will be disseminated.
On the same day Elaine Tweedy will be at Bloomsburg University staffing a BFBL table for the campus’ Earth Day celebration.
If you haven’t seen the Minnow Trapping event on the main site (April 25th 1:00 – 3:00 pm at The Lands at Hillside in Dallas) you need to go look. This promises to be a FUN FAMILY DAY, with naturalists from WNEP’s Pennsylvania Outdoor Life. Who knows…you might even get to be on television if they tape the event! Take your family and enjoy the event.
The Lands at Hillside is also holding a “Farm Volunteer Day.” Here is the information: Volunteer Working Day and Earth Day Celebration, April 24, from 10am to 3pm. Come out and help us get the farm ready for the Summer, bring your yard tools and your kids and friends! Lots of cool stuff to do, plus Earth Day events as well.
