Celebrate with Open Roads for Earth Day
Join us for Open Roads' Earth Day celebration, where we'll gather to celebrate Spring, our local parks and trails, and our beautiful planet! Our event is open to the public. Bring the kids - or come as you are. We invite you to connect with like-minded individuals and enjoy fun activities. If this is your first time visiting our program, this event is an excellent opportunity to take a tour and learn about what we do. We'd love to connect with you!
Our Earth Day Open House takes place Saturday, April 22, beginning at 11 am.
Want to take part in our group bike ride? Enjoy the beauty of nature as we ride together. We will set out from our shop on Riverview and ride along the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail (KRVT) to Kalamazoo Nature Center (KNC).
If you don't join us on the group ride, don't worry - we've got plenty of other activities for you! Hang back and relax with various yard games like corn hole, giant Jenga, and more. And, of course, the grill master will be ready to serve up some tasty treats.
Also, if you have any questions about our programs and events for the upcoming Spring, our team will be available to chat and give you more information.
Ask us about our annual Tweed Ride and Bike-a-Palooza event on June 3rd.
