Celebrate Earth Day at the 2023 GLEF in Manistee!
We will be celebrating Earth Day later this month. This is a day when we all can come together to celebrate the work being done to protect our environment and those groups, individuals, organizations, and businesses that are working to create a more sustainable future for us all here on planet earth. We have a great opportunity to join in a community celebration as we are proud to be hosting the 2023 Great Lakes Environmental Festival on Friday April 21st and Saturday April 22nd right here in Manistee!
We have a lot to celebrate as we are most fortunate to be surrounded by nature’s bounty of fresh water, clean air, and extensive carbon-sequestering forests all right outside our door and easily accessible to all of us who call this home. We must be forever vigilant to protect these resources so they are available for the greater good of everyone in our society. This means we need to be continuously educating ourselves and others so each of us can implement the science-based best practices that will protect and heal the damage done to our global environment. The 2023 Great Lakes Environmental Festival (aka: GLEF) will provide attendees with just that kind of information! The GLEF organizers have recruited a group of subject matter experts who will be delivering engaging informative lectures hourly from 12 noon to 5 pm on Friday April 21st and Saturday April 22nd at the West Shore Community College Building on River Street in Manistee. Interspersed with the lectures will be short videos that have been produced by local high school students and student artwork that will demonstrate to adults that our children understand the challenges caused by climate change and their effect on the future of this planet. On Saturday April 22nd from 10am to 3pm there will be an Environmental Expo at the Wagoner Senior Center on St Mary’s Parkway in Manistee that will feature information tables and booths from local and regional environmental activist organizations and businesses. There will also be a display of electric vehicles in the parking lot. Shuttle bus service will be provided between the Expo and the WSCC building to enable folks to park their cars at the Senior Center and do their part to reduce their carbon footprint while enjoying the 2023 GLEF. We will be honoring organizations that have proven to be consistent guardians of the Great Lakes and our regional environment during this year’s GLEF. The US Coast Guard will be conducting a water rescue demonstration in the Manistee River between the Maple Street and US 31 bridges. The Little River Band of Ottawa Indians will be |
