EARTH DAY FESTIVAL: New Event at the Montshire
Norwich, Vermont — The Montshire Museum of Science is hosting its first “Earth Day Festival” on Saturday, April 22nd, 2023 from 10:30am to 4:30 pm.
At this special Saturday event we invite visitors to celebrate and protect our planet by learning about home projects that increase biodiversity, tackling hands-on repair and reuse, and expanding mindfulness through nature-based experiences.
Explore the Compost Petting Zoo and learn everything you need to know about home composting from expert Ham Gillett. Create a collage with artist Kris Cairelli, learn to sew with mending experts from the Upper Valley Sew-Op and introduce the kids to gardening for biodiversity with Montshire Executive Director and biologist Lara Litchfield-Kimber.
A special Earth Day raffle features a composting bucket full of Earth Day themed products from the Montshire Museum Store. The store will be packed with earth friendly items, including NOSO repair patches, Hudson Valley Seeds and recycled produce bags from Earthwise.
Event admission is free with regular paid Museum admission. Admission is free for children under the age of two and for members. Free event parking is available at the Museum.
This event is part of Learning Ecosystems Northeast, a network of in- and out-of-school educators funded by NASA’s Science Activation Program led by Gulf of Maine Research Institute.
