Earth Day was founded in 1970. U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin called for a nationwide demonstration in the spring of 1970 aimed to raise awareness of environmental issues. It worked. The first national Earth Day was April 22, 1970.

October is Campus Sustainability Month, and WCM will join the celebration once again! This is a yearly international celebration of sustainability in higher education, held every October by many universities and college campuses. Our first event will be tending to the beautiful gardens of the Morris Jumel Mansion, Manhattan's oldest surviving house.
All tools and instructions will be provided, just show up dressed in comfortable attire and closed-toed shoes, and be ready to get a little dirty and enjoy gardening in the sunshine.
Registration is required, click here to sign up
We will have more events and raffles throughout the month, stay tuned for more announcements.
