The Morrisville Environment & Stormwater Committee (MESC) is joining WWFM on Saturday, April 26th from 8a-12n to celebrate Earth Day!  The theme for the year is ‘Compost: Nature’s Superhero’. There will be children’s activities, a chance to win tabletop compost bins, kids gardening tool sets, and more as we spread awareness on the value of composting including the Town’s new food waste collection carts. There will also be a milkweed seed giveaway as part of the Town’s commitment to the Mayors Monarch Pledge.

So, join us to get your compost on!
