It's Earth Day!

We only have one earth, but there are lots of us! What activities do you have planned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our beautiful Earth? We hope you'll engage in activities that help protect and restore our state and our planet, while practicing social distancing. Here are some ideas you might consider:
