April is Celebrate Trees! Earth Month Bainbridge Island 2022

Margaret Millmore | Posted on March 20, 2022 |

April is Earth Month on Bainbridge Island, and we are celebrating with activities and events for all ages to raise awareness for Earth Day and Arbor Day.

Everyone can take action and join activities to support and celebrate our environment and beautiful planet Earth. We encourage you to participate in Earth Month in a way that respects the social distancing measures necessary during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sustainable Bainbridge and many other Bainbridge Island nonprofits are hosting an incredible variety of opportunities, including weed pulls, Earth Day celebrations, recycling talks, climate change education, gardening and tree discussions, free invasive weed education and disposal, and nature walks.

Tell us about your month. Take pictures and share your Earth Month actions and projects with us. Use the hashtag #EarthMonthBI when posting on social media for Earth Month on Bainbridge Island. Join us in celebrating with activities and events for all ages!
