From the City of Marion:

Posted 1/27/2020

The City of Marion is partnering with local non-profits to provide an educational series for those who want to learn how to be environmentally conscious in their home, yard, and community. Expert speakers will highlight practical steps that will save money, reduce waste, and help the community.

All three of the events are free and open to the public. These events are geared toward all knowledge levels – environmental experts and novices alike will get practical tips to use at home.

On Feb. 22 at 2 p.m. at Lowe Park, Kelli Kennon-Lane from the Indian Creek Nature Center will provide tips for producing less waste inside the home.

On March 10 at 6:30 p.m. at the Marion Public Library, City Arborist Mike Cimprich will speak about identifying trees in your yard, and a seed library will be available to start or add to your home garden.

On April 22 at 5:30 p.m. at Lowe Park, City staff and community partners will give tips for water conservation, getting involved in the community, and more.

For more information about the series, visit cityofmarion.org or the City’s Facebook page. Questions can be directed to Jessica Carney, event coordinator via email.
