It's Earth Week 2021!

Birds tell us we need to Restore Our Earth.

The international theme of Earth Day 2021 is 'Restore Our Earth,' and the call to action couldn’t be more critical. As the world takes the first steps in emerging from the global pandemic, we have an opportunity to build a cleaner and brighter future for us all. The science is clear, and birds are telling us that we need to act now to save the places that both people and wildlife need to survive. Get involved this Earth day with these activities and events:
