Volunteers helping to clean up our downtown area will check-in at 9am at the Nick Rodriquez Community Center at 213 F Street in historic, downtown Rivertown Others who want to plant flowers will meet check-in at 9:00am at the Antioch Water Park in Prewett Family Park at 4701 Lone Tree Way.

What is Earth Day?
First held globally on April 22, 1970, Earth Day promotes worldwide demonstrations of support for environmental protection. Attention is drawn to the achievements made by the environmental protection movement and awareness is brought to methods of protecting the Earth’s natural resources. Celebrated by billions around the world, Keep Antioch Beautiful is just one of the ways our community celebrates Earth Day.
What is Arbor Day?
First celebrated in the U.S. in 1872, Arbor Day encourages public attention to the importance of trees in our ecosystem. Planting, relocating, and even climbing trees are encouraged along with learning more about the myriad of ways trees function in our environment and help us all to exist.
