Earth Day in Woodbridge was a whole thing this year. The rain showed up. The crowd showed up bigger. A town really did show up for itself.
Our booth was about one idea: everything is connected, and water is what does the connecting.
We spent the day in conversation with people about it — what it means for ecosystems, for communities, for the way we live. A local magician caught the theme and ran with it, pulling out a set of interlocking rings to show sky, earth, nature, and people all linked. He pulled a crowd that would not move. Honestly, magic.
Huge thanks to the students from Amity High and Beecher Road who carried the conversations all day, and to every single volunteer, vendor, and neighbor who made it work.
A few numbers from the day:
1,600+ people
100 volunteers
47 educational exhibits, 42 vendors and farms
1,704 lbs of clothes rehomed (1,652 lbs donated)
852 lbs of bikes back in circulation
31 roads cleaned
1,000+ books rehomed
25 things fixed at the Fix It Station

Big thanks to Woodbridge Town Library and the city of Woodbridge!
