"This is our second year celebrating Earth Day with our community partners, and we hope it continues to become a lasting community tradition," said Cindy "Renee" Provencio, Head Librarian at Bayard Public Library. "It's a wonderful opportunity to beautify our community, enjoy fellowship with neighbors, and learn how small actions can make a meaningful impact on our environment."
Event organizers will provide trash bags, gloves, and food and drinks. Trash clean up participants are encouraged to bring closed toe shoes, a reusable water bottle, and friends and family.
