Come celebrate Earth Day with the Coastal Environmental Educators Network. This free event will take place at the Jockey’s Ridge State Park visitor center parking area. The event will bring together many Outer Banks organizations that offer environmental education, so you’ll be sure to learn something new from the groups that are working hard to preserve the delicate ecosystems of the Outer Banks. Share your love for the natural world and check out our fun and informative exhibits and activities for kids.
Kitty Hawk Kites is teaming up with Dare Arts Council to create the Outer Banks ‘Sweep the Beach’ Trash Art Contest! In conjunction with Earth Day, we ask artists to create work from the trash they have collected from our beaches. After submission, artwork will be placed on our TrART Walk in varying locations across the Outer Banks. Select pieces will be collected and moved to Jockey’s Ridge State Park and on display during Earth Fair OBX. Selected pieces will be adjudicated and voted on for varying prize categories. Winners will be announced at the Kitty Hawk Kites booth at 3:45 pm.
