Earth Day Challenge

With the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day approaching on April 22nd our government is challenging us to make a change.

President Obama explains that change won’t come from Washington alone when it comes to creating a healthy environment, it has to also come from each and everyone of us. President Obama and TTF challenge you to make a difference and this earth day resolve to do something to promote a healthier environment where you live.

Make everyday earth day in your watershed!

  • Plant a tree.
  • Clean your street.
  • Avoid driving a car when possible, instead take public transportation, walk or bike.
  • Plant a rain garden.
  • Make a rain barrel to water your homegrown fruits and veggies.

The possibilities are endless, please share your ideas for making a difference in your watershed!
