On Saturday, environment-minded volunteers from around the suburbs will join more than a billion people worldwide to celebrate, enhance and protect our planet on the 53rd annual Earth Day. Between volunteering with your local forest preserve, attending your town's park district event and keeping the celebration going on Arbor Day, there are several ways to celebrate Earth Day this year.Forest preserves The best time to plant an oak tree is 100 years ago -- or today.
This year, the district is inviting anyone and everyone to Tekakwitha Woods Forest Preserve to plant trees and shrubs. The staff will pre-dig the holes. Volunteers will be asked to place the plants, tamp-down dirt and add water and mulch. Naperville Park District is hosting its annual Earth Day Fair from 1-4 p.m. Sunday at the Fort Hill Activity Center.
