Keep It Wild: Earth Day at the BFEC on April 21, 2018

Get WILD at the Brown Family Environmental Center from 12 - 4 p.m. on April 21, 2018!

The Columbus Zoo, Ohio Wildlife Center, Ohio Bird Sanctuary, St. Francis Center for Wildlife, and Midwest Biodiversity Institute will all be here with live animals to "meet." 

Build a bluebird box, bat house, or a home for native bumblebees.  Everything you build, you will take home with you.

Our Community Partners will have hands-on games and activities:

• Ariel-Foundation Park

Be sure to stay awhile to tap your toes to the live music, and Truckin' Delicious, a local food truck, will have tasty treats for sale. View their interesting menu items.
