HCWA hosting Earth Day activities at the Cubihatcha Center
The Henry County Water Authority will be hosting Earth Day Activities on Saturday, April 22, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at its Cubihatcha Outdoor Education Center – located at 100 Collins Road in Locust Grove.
Earth Day is a national celebration annually on April 22, to celebrate the importance of the environment and its protection, while preserving natural resources for future generations. This year is the 53rd anniversary of Earth Day.
To celebrate Earth Day and the protection of natural resources locally, the Authority and its Cubihatcha Center staff are inviting the public to join HCWA employees for a workday, which will include:
* Trail Cleanup – Visitors to the Cubihatcha Center enjoy several walking trails around the nature preserve; however, several trails were impacted by fallen trees and debris from the tornado that hit the area in January. Volunteers will be clearing limbs, debris, and trash around the property.
* Community Garden – The Cubihatcha staff also will lead volunteers in preparing the Center’s Community Garden for the upcoming planting season. Cubihatcha has one of the many Community Gardens in Henry County.
* Sign Beautification and Bee Boxes – Finally, volunteers are needed to plant flowers at the entrance of the Cubihatcha Center to welcome guests to the property, while also preparing pollinators for a healthy Bee habitat.
Lunch will be provided for all volunteers participating in Earth Day activities. Registration and release forms, as well as additional information on the HCWA Cubihatcha Center and its public education calendar and programming, are available on the Cubihatcha Center Facebook page here.
