Bee-A-Pollinator: Earth Day Service Day

Get outside and protect the planet at Queens Farm’s volunteer service day marking the 54th anniversary of Earth Day! Earth Day was introduced in Spring 1970 as a way of bringing national attention to environmental protection issues, and has had widespread impact. Recognition of Earth Day has reshaped awareness of how we interact with our environment and affected critical environmental protection legislation.
