Eco-friendly thinking makes the Earth go ‘round

MILLERTON — The village of Millerton was bursting with love for Mother Earth on Saturday, April 24, as community members of all ages came out to take part in the annual celebration of Earth Day, which was officially commemorated on Thursday, April 22. 

Partnering with local nonprofits, farmers and businesses, the North East/Millerton Climate Smart Community Task Force organized three days of earth-centric events on Thursday, April 22; Saturday, April 24; and Wednesday, April 28; offering of in-person and virtual programs geared toward teaching residents and visitors alike how to be good green citizens. 

From virtual talks at the NorthEast-Millerton Library and Oblong Books & Music to farm tours to checking out the latest in electric vehicles to yoga workshops to clean-up events along the Harlem Valley Rail Trail and free seed giveaways at the library, this year’s Millerton Earth Day pulled out all the stops to enliven and educate the community, all while adhering to COVID-19 safety guidelines.
