The City of Batavia will celebrate both Earth Day and Arbor Day from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 24.
The morning will begin at Austin Park on Jefferson Avenue with: a presentation on “Eco-friendly, Cost-Saving Energy Tips” by National Grid; a Seed Starting Display by the Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Master Gardeners; a composting display by GLOW; and a proclamation by City Council.
Volunteers will then be assigned a city park or downtown Main and Ellicott Street area to pick up debris. The volunteers will be asked to regroup at Austin Park at 11:30 a.m. for a tree-planting ceremony.
This event will take place rain or shine.
If there are any questions, please contact Jodie Freese at the city manager's office at 345-6333 or e-mail <jfreese@batavianewyork.com>.
