Other recycling and sustainability efforts include eyeglass donations accepted by the Belvidere Lions Club and Project Medicine Drop, an initiative led by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office to collect unused medications.
Children can visit the Kids Courtyard near Gaia’s Gifts for educational booths, free crafts from noon to 4 p.m., a nature-themed treasure hunt, giveaways of vegetable plants and pollinator posters, and activities hosted by Dove Environmental Education, Warren County Parks, and more.
