This year, in honor of Earth Day, the Bruce Museum Seaside Center is offering an Earth Day Month Celebration at Greenwich Point Park from 1:30 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 3, to kick off the town’s month-long observance of all things environmental.

The festivities begin when Town of Greenwich officials join Conservation Commission members and staff to announce a proclamation supporting healthy air, land and water. The Bruce Museum Seaside Center has organized ongoing family activities and a series of 15-minute presentations throughout the afternoon by environmental groups including Secrets of the Soil with the Aleksandra Moch of the Conservation Commission, Citizen Science with Tim Walsh of the Bruce Museum, Identifying Invasives by Mary Hull of Green and Clean, and Paper Shredding by Sally Davies of Greenwich Recycling Advisory Board. In addition, the Greenwich Shellfish Commission will discuss clam and oyster harvesting in local waters, volunteers will staff the live marine animal touch tank, and children’s book illustrator Sally Tobin will share her book on the natural world.

The free event is part of the Fred Elser First Sunday Science at the Seaside Center programs organized by the Bruce Museum and held at the Floren Family Environmental Center at Innis Arden Cottage, Greenwich Point Park, Old Greenwich.
