Wellington and the Wellington Tree Board will celebrate Earth Day on Sunday, April 18, 2010 from 1 – 3 PM at the Peaceful Waters Sanctuary located at 11700 Pierson Road, inside Village Park. Wellington is partnering with several local groups and businesses, including the Wellington Garden Club, to provide informational flyers and giveaways to the public.
This family-friendly educational celebration is a great opportunity to expose children to environmental awareness. The ceremony will include a ceremonial tree planting and awards given to our “I respect the Earth by…” contestants from Wellington Elementary School Ecology Club. There will be activities for children and FREE seedlings given away. Light refreshments will be served. There will also be a FREE raffle for a family 4-pack to the Rapids Water Park!
The Earth Day Ceremony is sponsored by Jet Hauling, Inc. USA.
