Westland Hosts 2014 Earth Day Celebration

  

   Mission: Green

Westland, MI - Mayor William R, Wild is pleased to announce that the City of Westland will be holding its 2014 Earth Day Celebration Event on Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22, 2014 at 2:00 pm at the Norwayne Community Garden located at the northwest corner of Newaygo and Dorsey in the heart of our Historic Norwayne Community.  The event is being sponsored by National Faith Homebuyers who will be providing soil, tools and refreshments so that volunteers that include the Hegira Counseling Youth Spring Break group, the Westland Youth Assistance Program and Sts. Simon and Jude Youth Group can clean up winter debris, prepare beds by cleaning them and spreading fresh soil and straw, install rain barrels and plant perennials.

 

At this wonderful event, Mayor Wild will be highlighting the youth of our great All-American City and the contributions they make to Westland and the Historic Norwayne Community. Mayor Wild will also be presenting the coveted Mission:Green Eco-Award to four worthy recipients for their work and dedication toward making Westland a greener place to live, work and play.  


For more information, contact Aubrey Berman, Administrative Secretary, at (734) 467-3200.
