Frick Environmental Center’s Earth Day, scheduled for Saturday, April 25, has been cancelled due to public health concerns. Mayor Bill Peduto, in accordance with recommendations from the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC), has banned public gatherings of more than 50 people within the city of Pittsburgh. Additionally, the White House has asked gatherings of 10 or more people to be suspended through May 10.
It is uncertain whether we will be able to reschedule the Earth Day celebration for a future date.
