Earth Day 2015

Taking in the Earth’s beauty at Tackapausha

Posted

Tackapausha Museum and Preserve celebrated Earth Day a little early. The Seaford nature center hosted an Earth Day presentation for residents of all ages on April 11. Children and adults were able to meet a handful of animals including possums, snakes, rabbits and more with Dennis Fleury.

Children could keep busy by making glow bug crafts in the lobby. For those looking to enjoy spring, there were nature walks around the preserve, which runs from Merrick Road to Jerusalem Avenue.

Earth Day an annual event since its inception in 1970, is celebrated worldwide on April 22, and events are held on and around the day to demonstrate support for environmental protection.
