Volunteers then bring back their findings and will be provided lunch and door prizes. T-shirts are available to the first 300 to register. Prizes for the most bags of trash collect, most bags of recycles, and most unusual item collected.
The Environmental/Health Fair begins at 10 a.m. and is a free event open to everyone. There will be many booths providing education and activities regarding positive environmental practices and healthy living choices.

There will also be a composting class from 8:30 a.m. to noon April 27.

Everyone will receive a Rodale book on composting that is full of a wealth of information and will continue to guide them through the process. Register at www.kfmb.org.
Also, environmental educational classes are taught throughout the year on subjects such as composting, sustainable landscaping, using native plants in your landscaping, and rain gardens.
