You can make an impact this Earth Day, throughout the month of April, and all year long. Little actions like picking up trash, planting native plants, and reducing/reusing water all make a difference.

Join the Eastern R.I. Conservation District (ERICD) to do all of those for Earth Month! Events include rain barrel workshops, a seedling sale, trash pickups/plogging, a comedy show and more. Visit www.easternriconservation.org/earthmonth for more information and to sign up for all events. Events are in partnership with Aquidneck Island Earth Week.
