What is Earth Day?: Celebrated every year on April 22, Earth Day is a global event dedicated to raising awareness about environmental protection and sustainability. First observed in 1970, it has grown into an international movement, inspiring individuals and communities to take action for a healthier planet.

What's happening: Piedmont Park Conservancy's program, "Babies to Big Ones," will take students on an exciting journey to discover how plants and animals grow. Does a young frog look like its parent? How do different species change as they mature? Through interactive games, hands-on exploration of skulls, furs, and tracks, and engaging activities, children will learn about the wonders of growing up in the wild!

Stay and Play!: After the event, families are welcome to stay at the park, enjoy the playground, and bring a picnic lunch to relax and explore the beautiful surroundings of Piedmont Park.
