Celebrate all that our environment gives us and learn how to return the favor by keeping our planet clean.

Join us for a variety of special programs throughout May as we explore ways to protect Earth and provide a safe place for plants, animals and people to live.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, learn about the mighty Sunflower Sword and plant a sunflower to take home. On Wednesdays and Fridays, get to know our caped crusader friend, Michael Recycle.

Plus, the Museum will be open Monday, May 29, for even more hands-on fun!
