Celebrate Earth Day & Arbor Day

Friday, April 21, 2023
Earth Day
Earth Day in the U.S. began in 1970 as 20 million Americans, from all walks of life, mobilized in an effort to change our environment. Today, Earth Day is celebrated by more than a billion people per year in 192 countries.

Arbor Day began 150 years ago, in 1872 and is similar to Earth Day because it celebrates nature. Arbor Day's specific purpose is to celebrate the planting, upkeep and preservation of trees.
Here in Norwalk we have scheduled clean up and tree planting projects for Friday, April 21 from 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

We will help you plan ahead, and provide you opportunities to give back to make Norwalk a great place to live, work and play!
