CALLING ALL YOUNG EARTH ACTIVISTS!
This year, as part of our Earth Day celebration  at Kauffman Park, kids in grades K- 12, are invited to create and set up "Help the Earth" stations at the tables under the pavilion!
These Earth Day focused stations could include:
  • an activity (example: have visitors sort sample items into recycle/trash categories and see if they're correct)
  • items (examples: seed packets, artwork)
  • information (examples: wolf habitat, reuse programs, pollinators)
  • container for donations to an environment or conservation org. of the child's choice
  • other Earth-friendly activities that they might come up with!
PLUS, any kid who sets up an Earth Day focused station will be entered into a raffle for an Earth-friendly prize!
  • Please encourage the young people in your life to participate.
  • Please invite your neighbors to come to Kauffman Park between 1-3pm on April 22nd to support these young Earth Activists!
