Common Ground Digest - April 2008

April 22 is Earth Day. Celebrate with The Conservation Fund.

Tree House

Celebrate Earth Day
Get Outside And Play.
What better way to celebrate Earth Day than to spend it enjoying the gift of nature? Better yet, take a child outside and introduce them to the wonders of the unplugged world.

A few ideas to get you started:

  • Be a cloudspotter. Go “clouding” – no equipment required.
  • Adopt a tree. Take pictures of your favorite tree in different seasons and around different family events. How does it change?
