Earth Day Buy Nothing – Saturday!

April’s Share-The-Plate recipient is Friends of Byrd Park
The Friends of Byrd Park are citizen stewards of Byrd Park, listed on the National Register of Historic Place, and at 275 acres, the largest park in the City of Richmond.

We’re pleased that the Share the Plate Committee selected Friends of Byrd Park (FOBP) as the recipient for April. To help connect First UU with the Park, the Earth Care Team is sponsoring short adventures in the Park after services on April 12, 19, and 26.

Want to explore how the FOBP is using naturalist approaches to maintaining and beautifying the Park? Bring your walking shoes and meet us in the lobby at 11:15. We’ll have you back at church within the hour. Families welcome!

• April 19: Reforested area near the picnic shelter
• April 26: Carillon Mall
