Celebrate Earth Month with Rogue Riverkeeper
Coming Back Together!
April is Earth Month—a time we celebrate environmental progress, educate each other about stewardship and justice, and advocate for sustainable policies and practices. April 22nd is Earth Day, and our community will gather to celebrate in-person events for the first time in three years. Whether it’s removing trash and debris from local waterways or meeting new supporters through fundraising events at local Aveda salons, you’ll find Rogue Riverkeeper celebrating Earth Day with the Rogue Valley community all month long!
Earth Day Events
SOU Earth Day Extravaganza:
April 22nd, 3:30pm-6:30pm at The Farm at SOU
Southern Oregon University invites the Rogue Valley community, and beyond, to the annual “Earth Day Extravaganza!” On April 22nd, 2022 from 3:30-6:30pm at The Farm at SOU there will be exhibitors, entertainment, an ecoquest adventure, educational mini-workshops, games and more, all in celebration of the 52nd Earth Day. Be sure to stop by the Rogue Riverkeeper table and find out how you can take action and support clean water in the Rogue Basin.
More information will be available at SOU’s event website.
Bear Creek Stewardship Day Clean-Up:
April 23rd, 9am-12pm at various locations along Bear Creek
Want to get outside and make a difference in your community? Rogue Riverkeeper is partnering with Jackson County and other organizations in inviting all community members to keep Bear Creek clean! Registration is through the Bear Creek Stewards website, where you can select from a number of stretches along Bear Creek. Choose the one closest to you, or work a long a stretch you’ve never visited. It’s a great opportunity to meet neighbors and other stewards of local waterways. If you’d like to join Rogue Riverkeeper, sign up for the Coyote Trails Nature Center site in Medford.
Supporting Clean Water
Two of the Rogue Valley’s local Aveda salons have made it a tradition each April to combine their goal of product sustainability with action to support access to clean, safe drinking water and healthy waterways by fundraising for Rogue Riverkeeper. Local Aveda salons—Be Cherished Salon in Ashland and Gervais Day Spa & Salon in Medford—make it clear that clean water is important by taking their fundraising efforts to the next level! Stop in anytime during the month of April to enjoy the salon’s services and products—no appointment needed!
This year, the salons will have several fun ways to support our work for clean water in the Rogue, so please visit these local businesses and tell them you appreciate their efforts on behalf of Rogue Riverkeeper.
