Treecycle art, one of the events under the “Earth to Warwick” umbrella.
As Warwick ramps up its climate actions, the many community volunteers behind Wickham Works, Sustainable Warwick, and the Village of Warwick’s Climate Smart Task Force have joined forces to create the new “Earth to Warwick!” initiative, uniting Warwick’s sustainability initiatives under one umbrella.
“The Earth to Warwick! campaign will amplify the impact of each community sustainability event and inspire more individuals to participate in creating a greener future for the Warwick Valley,” said Warwick Village Mayor Michael Newhard.
Earth to Warwick! will be the driving force behind the many events taking place throughout the community during a three-month “Green Calendar.” Some of the programs the Warwick community can look forward to include an Earth Day storytime and puppet show at the Albert Wisner Public Library, Arbor Day celebrations from the town and village of Warwick’s Shade Tree Commissions, Operation Clean Sweep from the Chamber of Commerce, the Coolest Recycling Drive and composting programs from Sustainable Warwick, the Warwick Repair Cafe, and Too Good to Toss events.
Launching the Earth to Warwick! season is Treecycle 2024, a free, one-day celebration of the power of art, community, and environmental action. It will be held on April 20 from 1 to 6 p.m. at Stanley Deming Park in Warwick (rain date: April 21). This spring festival is produced by Wickham Works and sponsored by the Village of Warwick.
According to the organizers, Treecycle 2024 will be all about climate-smart living, with art installations, hands-on workshops for all ages, information booths, entertainment, and food.
The Green Calendar is available on the Sustainable Warwick website at sustainablewarwick.org.
