As April ushers in spring, Boulder preps for Earth Day with workshops and community events aimed at promoting a sustainable future. Amidst these activities, 'Water Is Love: Ripples of Regeneration' will screen at eTown Hall, featuring stories of communities striving for sustainable water management. The event, scheduled for April 23 from 6 to 9:30 p.m., requires interested individuals to register, according to City of Boulder.
For gardeners of every skill level, CSU Extension's Cassey Anderson will present 'Earth Day for Pollinators' online. The session, tucked away within the Earth Day celebrations, will cover Earth Day's history and ways to attract wildlife to your garden. Set for April 22 from 6:30 to 8 p.m., the class promises gardening tips and a pollinator-focused discussion, with registration details found on the official website.
Kids are set to get their hands on Earth Day learning, with Meadows Branch Library offering 'Earth Day Storytime' on April 22. From 4 to 4:30 p.m., the event will feature books and crafts aimed at teaching eco-friendly principles. In a similar vein, Dry Storage will host 'Earth Day Climate Café,' facilitating conversations around climate action. This in-person event, scheduled for the same day from 4 to 6:30 p.m., also asks participants to register ahead of time.
April 26 signals a shift from viewing to doing with a tree sapling giveaway at the Boulder Farmers Market. Running from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., residents can pick up a free tree, and, hoping to green up their property, as long as supplies last. Volunteers are not required to pre-register; just show up early, according to PLAY Boulder Foundation's announcement. That day continues with Drylands Agroecology Research's Earth Week tree plantings, intent on buffing up local ecology, with local food and drinks served to volunteers from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration is required for those wanting to put down some roots for Earth Day.
Anyone energized to tackle Earth Day cleanup can grab free gloves and bags from Cool Boulder by contacting their team.
