It only makes sense that April is the start of spring and the month we celebrate Earth Day. April 22, 2021 marks the day that we honor the Earth and take part in making the world a healthier and cleaner habitat. We should continuously take care of where we live, our communities and surroundings and help the wildlife who we share this life with.

Earth Day allows us to take a step back and help us recognize what we can do to better the world we live in. Let this be a day that we want to do something to make a change and protect what we have on Earth.

With more beautiful days on the way, here are a few Earth Day events that are coming up in the Hudson Valley.
