The Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission will host its annual Earth Day celebration at the Discovery Center on Saturday, April 21, from 9 a.m. to noon.

“This is a wonderful day to meet many of our neighbors dedicated to helping the preserve” said lead educator Jackie Citriniti in a release from the commission. The event, for volunteers of all ages, will consist of many different projects such as trash collection, tree planting and invasive species removal.

“It’s always amazing to see how much we get done in just a few hours,” continued Citriniti. “If you’re looking for a great way to contribute to helping a rare ecosystem right here in your backyard, join us on April 21st to celebrate Earth Day.”

A free lunch will be provided for the volunteers at noon.

Registration is required. The Discovery Center is located at 195 New Karner Road. To sign up, visit www.AlbanyPineBush.org/events or call 518-456-0655.
