Delicious food available for sale from the Environmental Awareness Organization. Earthfest is a celebration of earthday through music. We also encourage a little education with the celebration, and you will find displays and information available on subjects that have ties to earthday and the arboretum. If you want a full dose of this part of the celbration join us at Foy Union on April 19th. We work with Auburn's Environmental Institute and Environmental Awareness Organization on campus Earth Day activities (www.earthday.auburn.edu) to recruit a wide array of informational displays on everything from Lichen Diversity to Alabama Water Watch, to sustainable forestry and farming. Parking is available at the Church of Christ on College St. Remember it is earthday, so keep they're parking lot clean, and carpool or ride your bike.
As in years past, you should bring a rock with you and we can use it in public rock art on the lawn. The bigger the better. The rocks will later be used for landscaping in the arboretum.
The majority of the photos on this site were taken by Patrick Thompson in the Davis Arboretum
