Earth Day events may be canceled, but we still can get into the spirit of the annual environmental observance – marking its 50th anniversary this year – by taking action and celebrating at home.
Consider the following suggestions for how you and your family can contribute to a healthier and cleaner planet:
– Take a family walk and observe nature.
– Plant some trees or native wildflower seeds.
– Put in a rain or butterfly garden.
– Ride a bike or take a hike.

And check out Five Days of Earth Day, a series of short videos from the DNR’s education team that highlight many aspects of what it means to enjoy, share and take care of the world around us. A new video drops every morning this week at 9 a.m. on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/MiNatureDNR/.
The drawing is one of the winners of the 2020 Earth Day Poster Contest, created by first grader Juliana Gjokaj of Monfort Elementary in Shelby Township.
