Nobody celebrates Earth Day like we do! In fact, we need a whole weekend for everything we have planned. Our annual Earth Day Celebration at the Manasquan Reservoir Environmental Center, Howell, is on Saturday, April 21 from 11am-5pm and features nature walks, boat tours, crafts and much more. Then on Sunday, April 22, the fun spreads to other parks with Eco-Fashion Fun, Snakes & Reptile Shows, Spring Plant Walks and more. See all our Earth Day plans.
