Cecil County GreenFest is a great way to celebrate spring, reconnect with nature, and learn how to “green up” your home, yard, and business.
The GreenFest Exhibit Hall features interactive family-friendly exhibits, demonstrations and vendors showing the latest green consumer products for home and garden. Learn easy ways to save energy, make your home safer, and garden and landscape without harming the environment.
GreenFest also promotes getting out in nature, and we've invited local non-profit organizations to come and share their outdoor education opportunities with you.
And, of course, the Nature Center has all sorts of fun activities planned for all ages (see below)!
Proceeds from GreenFest will support the Fair Hill Nature Center’s environmental education programming.
