Earth Month programs

Subscriber First Name, Happy Earth Month!

Every month is special for our beloved planet; it’s the only Earth we’ve got. But April is officially Earth Month, so this is a time to celebrate a little bit more. See what we have planned, and join us virtually or in person.

UPCYCLED FOR THE EARTH
April 1-30
Chamber of Commerce
Woodstock, VA

Check out our whimsical Earth Month micro-show in the Shenandoah Chamber window: a quilt made from Route 11 Chip bags, a fiber coneflower, and “Portable Haym,” this utensil-themed tribute to SM’s food-loving official spokescat.

LUNCH AT THE LANDFILL
Thursday, April 21
Shenandoah County Landfill

Experience the hydroseeding of Phase 2 of our Making Trash Bloom project (pollinator habitat at landfills), and hear the latest news on where the project’s heading. This limited space lunch event is reserved for 2022 SM Members (join now!), Volunteers, & Sponsors.

Meet us at the mall (and other festive places)…

We’ll also be at the following Earth Month events.
Come say hello!

FRONT ROYAL EARTH DAY

And when you’re at the Apple Blossom Mall, bring your used razors! Yes, really. During Earth Month (and perhaps beyond), the mall is hosting Sustainability Matters’ Terracycle razor recycling box. Razors are one of the many not-normally-recyclables on which our society currently depends, so this may be your best chance to dispose of them sustainably!
