The Earth Needs Us to Unite
We’re excited to share that Earth Day Fort Collins will be hosted at Odell Brewing Company, creating a vibrant, welcoming space for our community to come together in celebration of sustainability and climate action. Odell Brewing has long been a leader in environmental stewardship, making them a natural partner and an ideal setting for a free, family-friendly event that brings together education, hands-on activities, youth engagement, and local solutions.
This year also marks an exciting expansion of our impact through our new partnerships with Odells and the Coalition for the Poudre River Watershed. Together, we’re elevating the importance of river health and watershed protection, connecting community members with meaningful, action-oriented opportunities to care for one of Northern Colorado’s most vital natural resources.
The Rocky Mountain Raptor Program will have a booth with live permanently disabled educational ambassadors on display. Come to the RMRP booth to meet the raptor and learn how you can help in our mission.
