“We need to be respectful of the earth and there are so many things we can do to make a difference,” said Madeline Constantine, program director at Stony Acres, the ESU student-owned recreation area in Marshalls Creek, Pa. “We hope people who attend the celebration will be more informed about environmental issues.”

Megan Wilson, a graduate student at Rutgers University majoring in biology, Darryl Speicher, environmental educator from Monroe County Conservation District, and John Motz, a resource Conservation specialist at the Monroe County Conservation District, will speak at this year’s event. Topics include The Decline of Monarch Butterflies, Monroe County Species of Concern, and Water, Water Everywhere.
