Earth Day is one of those celebrations people can really dig into. In fact, it’s required. That’s because Earth Day is about preserving our natural environs, and often that means community groups and land trusts host cleanups, where people dig out gum wrappers and bottle tops from parks, forests or beaches. This year, with pandemic restrictions eased, there’ll be a lot more going on for Earth Day beyond trail maintenance and garbage collection, though those are really important. There will be celebrations of nature and the environment at local libraries, a children’s museum and an outdoor film festival. Here is a look at some of the things going on for Earth Day around Maine this year.
