You could celebrate Earth Day with many different events throughout Door County. This year's focus is composting. Composting is a great way to get rid of excess food scraps, garden waste, and other organic waste. Composting can benefit our community, here is what Alex Cole, Event Director and Property Manager at the Kress Pavilion had to say “By utilizing all of the waste products in an environmentally friendly way, it can be composted back down into dirt and can continue to be good for our environment.” 

First on April 21st, at Northern Sky’s Gould Theater, see live music by Jeanne Kuhns, Paul Taylor, and Terry Murphy. Along with poetry and prose by Write on Door County. 

On April 22nd at the Kress Pavilion, Earth Day workshops, a special visit from Open Door Bird Sanctuary, and other activities for kids. Presentations about the future of Lake Michigan, Gardening for Pollinators, Green Shopping, and more will also be featured on this day. 

Finally on April 23rd at Crossroads and Big Creek, there will be wetland restoration tours, tree planting demonstrations, and plant giveaways. Along with a showing of the film "Ridges and Swales" at 3:00 pm.
