Wisconsin Connection to Earth Day!

The first earth day, April 22, 1970, began through the efforts of former Wisconsin Governor and U.S. Senator of Wisconsin Gaylord Nelson. Nelson, working to build on the environmental movement that began in the late 1960s, worked with Harvard graduate student Denys Hayes to launch the event.  The Wisconsin tradition of protecting our planet is now celebrated around the world. Join Climate Alliance for the Common Good at the La Crosse Earth Day Fair on 4/30/23. The fair runs from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. at Myrick Park, We hope you stop by our table at the fair!
