There’s no dearth of places celebrating Earth Day, which actually occurs on April 22. So a lot of events are taking place the next day.
The Geauga Park District is hosting its first-ever Earth Day extravaganza from 11am-3pm at Frothing Meadows in Bainbridge Township (16780 Savage Road). There’ll be all kinds of opportunities to get close to and learn about nature including a live birds of prey show, bird and insect walks, tree and wildflower planting, bird banding, speakers and informational displays. There’ll also be refreshments and tree and wildflower giveaways. It’s free; no registration is required.
The same day, the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo will be celebrating its Party for the Planet from 10am-5pm. See a preview of this summer’s live animal zoo with Professor Wylde; learn from presentations on animal protection at the various exhibits by zookeepers; do some animal-related crafts; catch performances the St. Ed’s Trash Talkers drum line and Musical Mark with his environmental songs; view displays from organizations working on sustainability; and bring your aluminum cans, cell phones, printer cartridges and child car seats for recycling collection at the main entrance.
It’s free with zoo admission $13.25 for adults, $9.25 ages 2-12.
