Earth Day began 45 years ago, April 22, 1970 as a "teach in" suggested by Senator Gaylord Nelson. I was fortunate to see Nelson at his book reading a few years back when we still had a few book stores around.
I look forward to this day and to Earth Week. I owe my connection to Mother Earth to my science and Earth Science teachers and parents, but also (mostly?) Retzer Nature Center and all it's naturalists.
Happy Earth Day to all my teachers!
Every year Waukesha County residents are fortunate to have a host of Earth Week events to choose from. I love the campfire and Saturday evening hike at Retzer. It's still one of the great things available in this world without cost. Click here for more information.
