– Join Greenbelt environmental educator & Leave No Trace Master Educator Christopher Ricker in this Leave No Trace Awareness workshop! This program will cover the seven principles of Leave No Trace. Participants will learn how to hike and explore outside in a way that leaves a minimal impact on natural areas. – Join the Greenbelt Conservation Corps for this Earth Day celebration stewardship event to plant native plant species to start to rehabilitate parts of High Rock Park. The GCC team will lead the group in how to work as a stewardship crew, how to use some trail tools, where to plant young shrubs and trees, how to protect them in their vulnerable states, how to identify native plant species, and why it’s so important to begin to restore our forested woodland. All plants will be supplied by the Greenbelt Native Plant Center, and participants will have an opportunity to sink some plants right into the Earth where they will be nourished by the forest for generations to come. All ages are welcome to this family-friendly stewardship event. The trail will be close to the road and very accessible to all! – What can we learn about our environment from the animals and plants around us? Join educator Karen Roos and discover how we can use nature’s calendar in assessing the effects of climate change on our local ecological communities.
