At Environmental Volunteers, every day truly is Earth Day! 🌍 For 53 years, we've been connecting kids to nature through unforgettable field trips and classroom experiences – all with the help of hundreds of volunteers from our Nature Scientists and Sprout Up programs!⁣

Our Wake Up to Nature event in early March was a huge success! This year, attendees became 1st graders and learned about bees, enjoyed an inspiring speech by @loarie from @inaturalist and learned about EV’s future plans from @AnuRamamurty
