Celebrating Earth Day All. April. Long!
“Earth Day Every Day” encourages engagement in sustainable and environmentally focused activities throughout the Chippewa Valley! Since 2019, Beaver Creek Reserve has been proud to host our annual Earth Week Challenge, but we wanted to do more.
Last year, we created our new campaign, “Earth Day Every Day” to celebrate Earth Day all month long! Earth Day Every Day is a community-wide effort that promotes community events, Beaver Creek programs, and long-term sustainability in the Chippewa Valley.
Attend events, win prizes! It's that easy! Keep reading for how to get involved...
Earth Week (April 15-22) is our countdown to Earth Day! Visit local county and state parks, and participate in our Earth Week Photo Contest.
