The Monmouth County Park System celebrates Earth Day with enthusiasm every year, and this year is no exception. From cleanups to plantings to nature walks, let's go outside and discover our local environment.
Earth Day Open House
Saturday, April 18 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
The Park System invites family and friends of all ages to celebrate Earth Day at the Huber Woods Environmental Center. Events include live animal shows, and guided nature and history walks. Plus, bring a gently used nature book you no longer read and exchange it for a reading adventure that is new to you. FREE!
Earth Day Beach Cleanup
Sunday, April 19 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m.
Help us clean our coastline of trash and plastic debris while enjoying the beach near Sandy Hook Bay. Please bring your own gloves; trash bags and other tools will be supplied. We will meet near the entrance to the fishing pier. FREE!
Earth Day Planting
Wednesday, April 22 from 5-6:30 p.m.
Help us restore our native maritime forest. By planting native plants, your actions will provide valuable food and shelter for local wildlife! Plants are in limited supply, so this program will be under a first come, first serve basis. FREE!
