Earth Month

UW Bothell and Cascadia College host events throughout the month of April in celebration of Earth Day. For us, Earth Day is about recognizing the inextricable link between human systems and the more-than-human world, and understanding that the health of our communities is directly tied to the health of all of the Earth’s systems.

Many student groups and departments host Earth Month events, and these events range from volunteer opportunities, gatherings and discussions, tours, and more.
