Earth Day Celebration in Rodanthe
Join Amber as she talks about snakes, spiders, and insects! She’s got an updated “Find the Brown Recluse” board and will be giving away stickers!
The Rodanthe-Waves-Salvo Civic Association will host its fourth annual Earth Day Celebration on Saturday,
April 25, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Rodanthe-Waves-Salvo Community Building on NC Highway 12. The
event is free and will take place rain or shine.
A community plant swap will give folks a chance to trade plants, trees, vegetables, and seeds — or simply pick
up something new. Free native plants, courtesy of Wetland Plants Inc. of Edenton and sponsored by Midgett
Realty, will include cardinal flowers, blackeyed Susans, and several varieties of mallow/hibiscus. Families can
enjoy planting stations and craft tables, and local musician Martin Somers will provide live music throughout
the morning.
This year’s event also features a pop-up library hosted by the Hatteras branch of the Dare County Library,
offering books and information for readers of all ages.
Several local groups will be on hand with demonstrations and information, including:
Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative
Surfrider Foundation
Dare County Master Gardeners
North Carolina Coastal Federation
Frisco Native American Museum
Peace Garden Project / Outer Banks Environmental Film Festival
Local beekeepers and birdwatchers
Raffles will help support the civic association’s projects and events. Along with themed baskets, the raffle will
include plants such as live oak and fig trees.
Local businesses are contributing through sponsorships and donations. Current supporters include:
Midgett Realty
Brindley Beach Realty
Conners Supermarket
Hatteras Island Pet Resort
Island Garden Center
Home Depot (Kitty Hawk)
Chicamacomico Banks Fire and Water Rescue will serve grilled food, with proceeds benefiting the department.
Everyone across the Outer Banks community are welcome to drop by, pick up and swap plants, enjoy family-
friendly activities and celebrate Earth Day together.
More information and updates — including additional business supporters — can be found on the RWS Civic
Association Facebook page and their website at www.rwscivicassociation.org.
Reminder that this will not be at the museum, this will be at the Rodanthe-Waves-Salvo Community Building in Rodanthe.
