Go for a Walk…Learn more about a local park environment…Celebrate Earth Day – all at the same time!
Participants will at their leisure walk about 1.40 miles following numbered 
signs placed along the Cartier Park pathway. The signs provide answers to specific questions that will increase your awareness and appreciation for Cartier Park, increase your understanding of Earth Day and offer suggestions on individual efforts we can all take to protect our local environment.
