Expo to Include a Wide Variety of
Programs for Kids
In addition to a Who's Who of green
exhibitors and a full schedule of informative workshops, this year's
EarthWorks Expo will feature our biggest-ever assortment of
family-friendly programs for kids.
The EarthKIDS area just off the main exhibit
hall will offer learning activities, games and fascinating displays
of live birds and animals provided by The Wildlife Experience, Rocky
Mountain Raptor Program, the Butterfly Pavilion, Denver Zoo and
other organizations.
Kids, bring your parents to EarthWorks
Expo so they can join you in meeting Rosy the giant tarantula from
the Butterfly Pavilion. (Are you brave enough to hold Rosy in your
hand?) Or meet a majestic hawk or owl from the Rocky Mountain Raptor
Program; or some of the fascinating creatures from Denver Zoo. Or
take part in one of many environmental learning activities presented
by The Wildlife Experience. There's sure to be lots going on in the
EarthKIDS area all weekend long!

EarthWorks Expo is a big, complex event, and it
wouldn't be possible without the help of our great volunteers. Each
year, we rely on up to 100 or more volunteers to help us with such
diverse tasks as venue setup, ticketing, workshop coordination,
exhibitor assistance, welcoming attendees, resource recovery and
more. This year, we'll also need up to 20 volunteers to help us
promote EarthWorks Expo at public events taking place during Earth
Day week, April 19-25, one month before the
Expo.
