April is Earth Month and multiple agencies are collaborating throughout Wood County to provide events geared toward conservation, education, and family fun. The 13th Annual Community Earth Day Celebration will be the culminating event held on Sunday, April 27, from 2-4 p.m., rain or shine.
This free family event is open to all and is filled with hands-on learning stations.
The Montessori School of Bowling Green, located at 515 Sand Ridge Road, provides a 14-acre backdrop for this Earth Day Celebration. Those attending can spend time at the Black Swamp Preserve and Slippery Elm Trail while attending the event.
Participants can plant a sunflower with BGSU, learn about frogs with the Bowling Green Parks & Rec Department, learn about trees with the city’s arborist, and give the Wood County Park District’s giant earth ball a roll.
Interactive games will be provided by the Wood County Solid Waste District, Northwestern Water & Sewer District, and others. The Wood County District Public Library will be there with an Earth Day Storybook Walk. The Wood County Health Department, and Montessori School of Bowling Green will host informative, hands-on learning stations.
Those coming early, with their bikes, can participate in a slow roll ride along the Slippery Elm Bike Trail with the Bowling Green Bike Safety Commission. This ride will begin in the Montessori School parking lot at 1 p.m. Riders must wear helmets.
