Following up on the recent post on local environmental organizations, there's are a whole lot of events coming up with Earth Day/Week. Here's just a snippet from today's News-Gazette:
Two activities sponsored by the Champaign County Forest Preserve District on Saturday may also be of interest. A session on planting your own monarch butterfly garden (all ages, registration required) will be held at the Museum of the Grand Prairie, Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve, from 12:30 to 2 p.m., and an event called "Celebrate the Night Sky" will be held at the activity center at the Middle Fork River Forest Preserve from 7:30 to 10 p.m.There are far more activities in the full article here.
On Sunday at 11 a.m., the EarthCare Team of the First Presbyterian Church of Urbana invites you to a public lecture on environmental and social issues associated with plans for development in Champaign County by Frank DiNovo. DiNovo is the retired director of planning and community development with the Champaign Regional Planning Commission and currently a member of the Champaign County Zoning Board of Appeals.
On April 26, Faith in Place, in cooperation with the Illinois Environmental Council and the Illinois Chapter of the Sierra Club, will be heading to Springfield for Environmental Lobby Day. If you're frustrated with inaction (and worse) at the state level, here's a great opportunity to amplify your voice by joining together with other people and speaking directly with elected officials. Details on lobby day can be found at faithinplace.org/our-programs/springfield-advocacy-day.
