PHOTOS: EcoFest – Thousands Unplug. Explore. Discover.

The Environmental Learning Center challenged everyone to “Unplug. Explore. Discover.” And so they did; coming in droves to the ELC’s 20th annual EcoFest to enjoy a picture-perfect day, a host of activities, live entertainment and the very best nature has to offer all throughout the beautiful 64-acre campus.

Numerous local nonprofits and governmental agencies were on hand with educational exhibits and interactive games.

Little ones could get up close and personal with sea creatures at the Discovery Station Interactive Museum & Touch Tank and dip-netting in the pond, and kept their tiny hands busy with eco-arts and crafts, while adults enjoyed workshops in nature photography, container gardening and nature journaling.

Colorful entries in the annual Making a Difference in MY World school contest and Chalk Art contest attested that the environment is in very good hands with an invested younger generation.
