Celebrate Earth Day at the Ramsey County Environmental Center as the facility marks one year of operations. Staff and partners will share information about items accepted at the center and what happens to them after they are dropped off. Attendees can enjoy story time, create their own upcycled craft and meet Murphy the Recycling Unicorn. Participants can sow native seeds to take them home to plant in their garden this summer. All are welcome to attend and enjoy refreshments for all or part of the day. See the schedule of events below.
