Earth Day Events in Northern Colorado 

Fort Collins 

   The Sustainable Living Association will host Earth Day activities at Odell Brewing Company on April 18 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for our community to come together in celebration of sustainability and climate action. Odell Brewing has long been a leader in environmental stewardship, making them a natural partner and an ideal setting for a free, family-friendly event that brings together education, hands-on activities, youth engagement, and local solutions. 

   This year also marks an exciting expansion of our impact through our new partnerships with Odell’s and the Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed. Together, we’re elevating the importance of river health and watershed protection, connecting community members with meaningful, action-oriented opportunities to care for one of Northern Colorado’s most vital natural resources.  

   Activities include river cleanup, kids’ activities, youth writing and art contest, live music, food trucks, and exhibits. For more information go to  https://sustainablelivingassociation.org/earth-day-fort-collins.

   Join the local Indivisible on April 22 from noon to 2 p.m. for a community rally in support of our national parks, forests, and the future of our planet. 

   At a time when protections for our public lands, environment, and climate are being rolled back and threatened, it’s more important than ever to come together, raise our voices, and stand for what we value. Our parks and forests belong to all of us—they are not political bargaining chips, but shared treasures that deserve protection for generations to come. 

   This gathering is about unity, action, and hope. We will celebrate the beauty of our natural world while calling attention to the urgent need for responsible stewardship and leadership that respects science, conservation, and the public good. Bring your friends, your passion, and your commitment to protecting the places we love.
