Celebrate, connect, and care for the places we love
Across Minnesota, our communities are coming together to care for our lakes, rivers, parks, and neighborhoods in ways that are hands-on, hopeful, and rooted in connection. This year, Earth Day falls on Wednesday, April 22, but celebrations and volunteer opportunities are happening all week long from April 18 through April 25 and beyond. There is something for everyone.
