Earth Day is celebrated April 22. This is the perfect day to get together with friends and family and perform activities that will protect our planet. Ideas for some tasks are cleaning up your community, planting a tree, shopping at a local farmers market or starting a composting pile.

As the temperature becomes warmer, many community members have been using the Ironton Rail Trail to get out and exercise or breathe in some fresh air. In fact, April 25 is Celebrate Trails Day.

This is a local event organized by the Rails to Trails Conservancy. All are encouraged to celebrate the day by walking, running or biking the local trail, as well as visiting trail-friendly businesses.

Enjoy our beautiful IRT here in Whitehall and take in nature’s sights and sounds while you de-stress and relax.
