Nadia Harduar, UWindsor’s sustainability officer, is inviting the community to celebrate Earth Day at Malden Park and join the university’s Green Team in a tree planting event along the Ganatchio Trail.
The University of Windsor will be represented at the city’s Earth Day festival, Sunday, April 27, in Malden Park.
The day promises free activities, exhibits, and entertainment from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the park, located at 4200 Malden Road.
Among the UWindsor organizations in attendance will be the School of the Environment and the Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research, the Windsor Law Centre for Cities, and the National Urban Park Hub.
“Earth Day dates back to 1970 as a way to acknowledge our debt to the planet and commit to ecological responsibility,” says UWindsor sustainability officer Nadia Harduar. “Come on out Sunday and connect with some of our local environmentally conscious organizations.”
She is also heading up a team of volunteers participating in the Earth Day community tree planting led by Essex Region Conservation Authority from 10 a.m. to noon Sunday along the Ganatchio Trail. Register to join the UWindsor Green Team for the tree planting.
