Unsure of what to do this Earth Day? Beaver Creek Reserve has got you covered with many springtime activities coming up including our annual Earth Week Challenge. The Earth Week Challenge is completely FREE to register and runs from April 16-April 24.
There are anywhere from 15-20 tasks, which can be completed within that time frame. The tasks are either free or affordable and all contribute to giving back to the planet. Our goal is to encourage a sustainable and environmentally aware lifestyle for those living in the Chippewa Valley area.
Our newest event this year takes you through our beautiful trails where you can either walk or run and spread as many native seeds as you can. By doing this, you are increasing the number of native plants which are essential to our ecosystem and also providing new plants for our pollinators to work their magic on. Be sure to sign up your team today!
Aside from what goes on at the Reserve, there are many other opportunities you can do at home that help the environment. Here is a list of things you can do this Earth Day:
Recycle bottles, milk carton containers, etc., and use them for an in-home garden.
Take a walk around your local park or neighborhood and pick up any garbage (Eau Claire County parks are free April 18-24).
Go to the store and purchase seeds to start your own fruit or vegetable garden (or buy from our Native Plant Sale, the online store opens April 20).
Start a composting pile!
Shop sustainable products when buying items such as soap or cleaning products.
Switch your toothbrush from a plastic one to a bamboo one!
Put out a bird feeder or sprinkle bird food.
Make your own butterfly or bee garden by planting new flowers outside your house!
Be sure to always treat mother earth with respect, love, and absolute kindness. Stay Green!
