No Earth Day Parade again this year, but plenty of activities to honor planet Film screening, scavenger hunt and more BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The Environmental Center will offer a series of events and activities for local individuals, families, students and young kids to celebrate Earth Day. All Central Oregonians are invited to participate between April 16–25. “Coming together around Earth Day to learn and take action allows us to harness the power of collective impact,” said Mike Riley, executive director of The Environmental Center. “The last year has really highlighted the importance of individuals caring for our home, our community, and our neighbors. Our Earth Day activities help carry that forward.”
