Happy Earth Day, everybody! Earth Day is Saturday. Look for events and cleanup meetups at your local parks. I know there are things happening at Quiet Waters, Downs Park and Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary as well as GreenScape Annapolis celebrating their 31st year. Their focus is a city and community partnership for the beautification, cleanup and planting in public spaces throughout the city.
