Guilford Parks and Recreation
In partnership with the Conservation Commission and Sustainable Guilford Task Force we invite you to join us for our upcoming Earth Day event!
Join us on Saturday, April 25th from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM on the Guilford Town Green for a family-friendly community event featuring food trucks, vendors, hands-on learning, a pop-up repair café, and more!
Be part of Guilford Clean-Up Week, join your neighbors in keeping our community beautiful! Stop by to get supplies, register for a zone, and ask questions.
Honoring the spirit of the first Earth Day in 1970, which arose in response to the environmental crisis of land, water, and air pollution, many of this year's exhibitors will showcase how they are responding to the current environmental crisis of global warming.
