Celebrate Earth Day
To celebrate Earth Day, and help homeowners become more environmentally conscious, LeafFilter North Inc. compiled a list of standout Earth Day events for 2016.
This list included not only general events, but also a select few children’s events. RiverLink’s Earth Day Kid’s Festival, taking place on April 23, 2016, was named one of the best upcoming children’s events of 2016.
Earth Day events on this list were chosen for their unique offerings, like educational lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on activities. Community commitment to sustainability was another factor of particular interest to LeafFilter North, Inc.
Asheville, with the help of local non-profit RiverLink, is a leader in the sustainability category, with its year-round dedication to cleaning up the French Broad River and its focus on educating younger generations who have the power to positively impact our environment for generations to come.
The celebration, held on on Saturday, April 23 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 144 Riverside Drive in the River Arts District in Asheville, is one of only two North Carolina events to make the list.
RiverLink’s event will feature live birds from Wild for Life, puppies from Brother Wolf, plants from Sow True Seed & Bee City and recycling with Asheville GreenWorks. The goal is to introduce kids to all aspects of nature and conservation in a fun and engaging way.
The event will also feature giant puppet performers, a bounce castle, crafts from Macaroni Kids & Easel Rider, a scavenger hunt and more. Food will be available for purchase from Amazing Pizza Co. Belly Up and The Hop Ice Cream.
