Extension Participating in Earth Day

The entire Alabama A&M University Family and public at large are invited to join the Alabama Cooperative Extension System in the celebration of Earth Day at the Hays Nature Preserve on Saturday, April 20, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.  More than 80 earth-friendly exhibitors are scheduled to set up informative displays and demonstrations during a day of family fun.

At 8 a.m., John Ehinger will lead a Bird Outing.  At 11 a.m. and again at 1 p.m. Alabama Cooperative Extension System staffers/volunteers will hold a Butterfly Release.

The day will also feature facepainting, animal viewing, kite flying in the big field, along with free sausage biscuits (while supplies last) from Miss Annie's Kitchen.  Enjoy hot dogs, drinks, etc.
