Thursday might have been Earth Day, but St. Joseph’s Remington Nature Center celebrates Earth Day Saturday.
Remington Manager Sarah Elder says the center will host four 30-minute presentations on enjoying and sustaining the environment, including a presentation about planting native.
Elder says Earth Day was established in 1970, in part after an oil spill off the California coast. She says things took off from there.
“Shortly after Earth Day was established is when things like the Environmental Protection Agency was founded and the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act within a few years,” Elder tells host Barry Birr on the KFEQ Hotline.
The Remington Nature Center will host four discussions on Saturday, beginning at 10:30 Saturday morning. Topics include the Monarch butterfly migration and conservation in St. Joseph as well as a presentation from a person who goes by the tag: The Zero Waste Nerd.
Remington requires that you pre-register, which you can do by calling the nature center.
