The Town of Sudbury announced a sprawling Earth Day event that is slated for April 20. The event will be held throughout Sudbury’s historic town center with participation from an exhaustive list of community organizations, nonprofits, local businesses and Town departments. Here’s the flyer that was published by the Town:
There will be demonstrations, activities, a farmers market, live alpacas and more. The event stretches from Noyes Elementary school to Town Hall, the Sudbury History Center and Museum, Grange Hall, the Hosmer House and First Parish Church. While the Town website already lists an enormous number of participants, it indicated that more will be announced soon, and there’s a vendor/exhibitor sign up form still taking applications.
According to the Town website, the town is inviting exhibitors who share a mission to promote sustainability. As previously reported, Sudbury has been prioritizing sustainability initiatives in recent years. That work includes the successful pursuit of grant funding for sustainability projects, multiple community outreach initiatives, and greater focus on sustainable approaches for Town construction, renovation and maintenance projects. The Earth Day event appears to be one of the largest sustainability-focused community outreach initiatives from the Town to-date.
Coinciding with the Earth Day event, Sudbury is also holding its annual Roadside Cleanup Day on April 20. Residents can sign up for a road or area to clean up on the town website here. Residents just need to sign up, clean up, and follow the instructions for DPW to pick up the bagged litter they collected.
Fair warning: this is the week of the year when you see bags of trash piled neatly on the side of the road as DPW works to go around and pick them up. Rest assured, a band of rampant litterers have not descended upon the shire to disrupt your sense of bucolic bliss.
