EARTH DAY 25 CELEBRATE THIS SATURDAY

TANNERSVILLE — The Mountain Top Library, Mountain Top Progressives (MTP), and Fromer Market Gardens in Tannersville invite residents and visitors to the FREE seventh annual mountaintop Earth Day event on April 26th. 

This unique celebration will begin at 9:00 AM at the barn at Fromer Market Gardens (Main Street in Tannersville, next to the high school) with a Spring Garden Planning Workshop conducted by the Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program. Master Gardener and Master Composter Suzi Novak will offer guidelines for Spring Planting – “Dos and Don’ts” - followed by a tour of the Fromer Market Gardens. At Earth Day ’25, you’ll find FREE seeds for flowers, plants, and veggies plus seedings and sapling trees as well. MAKE YOUR CHOICE – or choose them all!  

Right across Main Street - the Earth Day ‘25 Festival Main Event opens at 10:30 AM at the Mountain Top Library.    

Thousands of seeds, seedlings and 40 saplings available 

THE LIVE WILDLIFE EVENT!

The LIVE Wildlife Show will feature Birds of Prey, Amphibians, and SNAKES TOO!  This has been received with lots of “oohs” and “aahs” in previous years – the presenter is a true performer with fabulous live props. In addition, thanks to Friends of the Feathered and Furry Wildlife Center, Mellow the Friendly Owl wants to meet you (and maybe take a picture with you!) throughout the day! And Marcia the Musical Moose will provide fabulous entertainment with her puppet show! We’ll also offer craft activities! For the second year, we’ll be decorating the Rip Van Winkle Magical Garden with things that you’ll create. You’ll also can paint rocks, plant seedlings in a pot that you’ve decorated, and so much more!

                                            LIVE Earth Day ’24 Wildlife Show                  

This event will feature more than a dozen interactive table displays with LOTS of relevant information. You will meet dozens of state and local environmental advocates in the region, all of whom will be loaded with printed information and available to answer your questions – from composting and recycling to hiking and local wildlife in the Watershed. The History of our community is on-topic at Mountaintop Historical Society and local flora addressed by Mountaintop Arboretum, Fromer Market Gardens, and Cornell Cooperative Extension. The Sierra Club will address threats to our environment and how to protect your home. And so much more! JOIN US! 

During the event, we will encourage both visitors and residents to sign up as a volunteer for a Trail/Stream Clean-up that will take place one week later – Saturday, May 3rd from 10 AM to Noon. Details are at EARTH DAY ‘25!

And let’s not forget the Bake Sale – 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Mountain Top Library, the most gracious and wonderful hosts for this event.
