Maintaining Pine Bush trails is one of the projects volunteers will undertake on Earth Day.

ALBANY COUNTY — The Albany Pine Bush Preserve will host its annual Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 22, from 9 a.m. to noon.

“This is a wonderful day to meet many of our neighbors dedicated to helping the preserve,” said Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator Beth MacCallum in a release about the event. “It’s always amazing to see how much we get done in just a few hours!”

The public is invited to volunteer on a variety of conservation projects in the Pine Bush. Projects, like trash collection and trail work, will take place in different parts of the preserve and all equipment will be provided.

All registered participants will meet at their worksite location and receive a commemorative sticker. Volunteers should dress appropriately for the weather and outside working conditions and bring snacks and water.

Space is limited. Reservations may be made online at www.AlbanyPineBush.org/events or by calling 518-456-0655. The Albany Pine Bush Earth Day celebration is a free event.
