The Magic of Earthfest

UPDATE: Mid-day events are cancelled at Soldier's Field for today due to inclement weather.

The purpose of EarthFest is to raise awareness, to provide education and resources, and to create inspiration and opportunities to develop a more environmentally-sustainable community.

XRG Concepts focuses on energy efficiency in residential construction, providing home energy ratings, code compliance, and consulting services to home owners and builders.

The mission of the Minnesota Master Naturalist Program is to promote awareness, understanding, and stewardship of Minnesota’s natural environment by developing a corps of well-informed citizens dedicated to conservation education and service within their communities. Stop by their booth to test your knowledge of invasive plants in our area.

Come connect with the Public Works staff for an interactive children’s activity and environmental education for everyone!
