The Sunset Beach Environmental Resource Committee is hosting the program from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the town park, 206 Sunset Blvd.
“Arbor Day was first celebrated in 1872 and Earth Day in 1970. Both events were created to educate and inspire the environmental movement worldwide and to emphasize the importance of trees in our future,” organizers said.
There will be environmentally aware groups and organizations to answer questions and share information about their programs. Visitors can participate in a plant give away, native plant swap, have discussions on resilience and get a reusable grocery bag.
All are encouraged to attend the event being held at no charge.
