Chester County Earth Day Festival

Families are encouraged to bring shovels on Earth Day and volunteer to plant over 60 native trees and shrubs to benefit UMLY’s Cassatt Preserve. A “Shovel Check” will be available (like a coat check!) so families do not need to carry their shovels around the festival.

Tons of fun with exhibits, activities, and presentations that will have you going green in no time:

• Explore the YMCA’s Cassatt Preserve, home to 20 acres of woodland, wetlands, a meadow, stream, pond and PA’s first conservation easement.
• Meet the animal ambassadors of the Nature Center, Raptor Center and Barnyard.
• Participate in family-friendly STEM and Environmental Education activities including robotics, stream study, canoeing, woodworking, tree-planting and more – PLUS face painting and live music performed by Em McKeever, Meadowlark and Jim Shirey and Friends.

Food trucks will be available for lunch.
