About Picture This: Earth Day 2009

Picture this: thousands of central Ohioans working together with shovels in hand planting trees, cleaning the banks of our scenic rivers, removing non-native species from parks, establishing vegetable gardens in communities, and otherwise beautifying the city we call home. Earth Day 2009 is on the horizon and it is going to be bigger, better and greener than ever.

Please join us on Saturday, April 18th and Sunday, April 19th for Earth Day 2009: Picture This. Yep, for 2009, we are moving to a two day format with all Saturday for volunteer worksites and Sunday for the celebration in Goodale Park. The goal this year is to encourage 3,000 volunteers to participate at worksites run by your favorite area environmental groups, including FLOW, Metro Parks, FACT, Columbus Recreation and Parks, Sierra Club and many others.

After dedicating Saturday to beautifying our city, a festival in Goodale Park will be held to celebrate our accomplishments. The planned event will run from noon until 7 and feature booths for environmental organizations, live music, local foods, speakers including Mayor Michael B. Coleman, kids’ activities and much more.
