Red Deerians celebrate Earth Day at the Kerry Wood Nature Centre
Red Deerians celebrated International Earth Day on April 23 by converging on the Kerry Wood Nature Centre at the Gatez Lakes Sanctuary.
The annual event allowed members of the public to enjoy the natural surroundings and find out more about local environmental initiatives from organizations such as ReThink Red Deer, Red Deer Bee Keepers Association, Central Alberta Lyme Society and City of Red Deer which made staff available to talk about their Environmental Master Plan.
Tanya Wells, Public Programmer / Special Events Coordinator, Kerry Wood Nature Centre says a representative from Peavey Mart was also on hand to help plant three inch pea-pots for people to take home with some seeds that were donated by ReThink Red Deer. They showed residents how to use worm composting.
Wells says hosting Earth Day activities is a no-brainer for the Kerry Wood Nature Centre.
