The Headwaters Center is inviting community members to attend its annual Earth Day celebration from 5-7:30 p.m. Friday, April 18. The free, family-friendly event gives attendees the opportunity to learn about environmental conservation and support local sustainability efforts.

“We invite everyone to come together, connect with local organizations and discover actionable ways to protect our environment,” the release states.

The community is invited to participate in hands-on activities for all ages and gain insight on how to make a positive impact. Free food and beverages will be available courtesy of sponsors Après Eats and Big Trout Brewing.
