Through provision of staff, volunteers, office space, and logistical support we facilitate the annual Columbia Area Earth Day Festival (CAEDF). This event provides significant public education on environmental & sustainability concerns. The focal point of our Earth Day Festival is Eco Avenue, where approximately 40 booths are set up by area organizations, agencies and businesses involved in various aspects of sustainable living education. There is also a Kids' Park set up where hundreds of area families bring their children to participate in nature-oriented learning activities. We also hold sustainability workshops at the Festival. The CAEDF is a free event. We estimate that at least 10,000 people participate each year. We continue to work to make every day Earth Day in the years to come. Expense: 18,868 Grants: 0 Revenue: 0”
