Organizers from Geneva’s Natural Resources Committee, in conjunction with the Geneva Park District, came together to stage the Geneva Earth Day Celebration at Peck Farm Park.
A plant giveaway was just one of a variety of activities offered Saturday at Peck Farm Park in Geneva during the annual Earth Day Celebration. Saturday’s cold and blustery weather didn’t provide the perfect backdrop for an outdoor activity, but 8-year-old Annabel Ibatuan of Geneva didn’t seem to mind.
Organizers from Geneva’s Natural Resources Committee, in conjunction with the Geneva Park District, came together to stage the celebration at Peck Farm Park at 4038 Kaneville Road in Geneva.Organizers said the Geneva event honoring Earth Day now has a 15-year history and began as a way to educate people about the environment.
“When we first started this we really weren’t sure what we were doing or who would come, so we started by selling rain barrels. We were giving people educational pamphlets about what they could do at their homes regarding conservation,” Womack said. “It’s really morphed more into being more than just education. We’ve got quite a few groups that are collecting things that are really important like electronics and the paper shredding.
The Geneva Earth Day Celebration at Peck Farm Park drew people with a variety of activities and giveaways focusing on the environment. “We’re hoping we reach a large audience and people get something out of this,” Womack said. “We hope that a decade and a half later there’s more awareness. We have a group of people that bring their electric cars out as well as electric bikes. I love getting kids involved because they come out with an energy that unbeatable by anyone.
