This week, in honor of Earth Day, CPEJ would like to invite families to celebrate its 50th anniversary by going on a nature walk. We’re part of a community of over 1 billion people who are finding ways to celebrate this holiday. Let’s not let COVID-19 stop us this year. Time as a family outdoors, breathing in the fresh air and taking in the beautiful sights, is not only restorative, but it can also be a powerful bonding experience. Nature brings us together, and, as we come together, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect nature and to be good stewards of its resources. Be sure to wear a mask or face covering and to maintain social distancing. Use the links below to help you plan your family nature walk.
