The Ashokan Center in Olivebridge, NY announced their first-ever Earth Fest hosted on April 21 from 12 to 4pm.
Earth lovers of all ages are invited to the Ashokan Center for a variety of family-friendly and planet-focused activities. This includes a birds of prey demonstration, hands-on educational workshops, story readings, nature crafts, art-making activities, guided hikes, and live music presented by Shokoloko.
Ravensbeard Wildlife Center will host an educational birds of prey demonstration at 12:30pm spotlighting their rescued and rehabilitating birds. Ravensbeard provides wildlife rehabilitation for injured, ill and orphaned animals in order to return them back to the wild.
Earth Fest features a guided hike around Cathedral Gorge. The trail passes relics of the recent and prehistoric past, including a 19th-century water mill, a 130-year-old covered bridge, and a glacial gorge, before it ends at a 80-foot waterfall. Folks can enjoy this day filled with art, music, nature, and food regardless of financial situation.
No one will be turned away for lack of funds, but any donation is appreciated. The Ashokan kitchen plans to serve savory vegetarian dishes to all. Various workshops are in store including Ink Making and Drawing with Natural Materials, Patching & Upcycling Clothes, and Nature Art. These workshops are hands-on and are encouraged for people of all ages.
