We are so excited that Environmental Volunteers was represented at 15+ Earth Month events in 2025! Our EV volunteers, staff, and board members engaged hundreds of families and kids with fun activities, recruited new volunteers and continued to spread the love for science, nature and our planet! Take a look below at all the events we attended throughout California and New York. The events outside the Bay Area were hosted by our Sprout Up chapters.
Some hands-on activities we did:
🦉 Games and taxidermy
🐦 Making binoculars from reused toilet paper rolls
🎨 Native Species coloring pages
🪨 Rock painting
♻️ Recycling basketball
