Calling the Small to the Tall! Free Eco-Fest with Eco-Fun!

 

Rally for the Rivers Eco-Fest, hosted by Clean Ocean Action and the Rumson Environmental Commission, returns to Victory Park for its sixth year on Saturday, June 1, from 9:00 am – 12:30 pm (rain date: June 2). Come join us for a jam-packed morning of seining, environmentally friendly crafts, hands-on environmental demonstrations, face painting, music, and more!

Calling the small to the tall—FREE Eco-Fest at
Victory Park, June 1

We’re still accepting interest forms from environmentally minded organizations to have a free, educational table! Your activity will be part of the day's eco-friendly festivities. Email inquiries to Education@CleanOceanAction.org. Every activity at Eco-Fest provides an important environmental lesson, which many teachers find useful to connect with their climate change curriculum during the second half of the school year! For teachers to incentivize student attendance, we encourage offering 1 pt extra credit or a homework pass to any student who completes the Passport Challenge at Eco-Fest.

The Passport Challenge encourages students to travel to every activity station, where they will learn important environmental lessons while filling up their passport with stamps that show participation! Fully stamped Passports will be redeemable at local businesses for free treats and big discounts! This is a wonderful way for students and families to get outside, learn about local waterways, support local businesses and enjoy the rewards of environmental learning.
