Trees and Tykes on the Agenda for Baytown Earth Day

April 17, 2009

The Baytown Nature Center, 6213 Bayway Drive, will be the site of a fun and educational Earth Day Celebration on April 22. The Center’s butterfly garden will receive 6-8 new citrus trees to replace several that were destroyed by saltwater during Hurricane Ike.

Thanks to Calpine Power, the Friends of the Baytown Nature Center, and Baytown Parks & Recreation, area tots will have the opportunity to participate in and learn from the event, which will take place during the Center’s “Tyke Hike” – a popular educational program for preschoolers and their parents. The children, who will arrive at the Nature Center at 10 a.m., and Calpine Power representatives will plant the trees with the assistance of the Baytown Nature Center staff.

“We are so appreciative of the efforts of the Friends,” said Scott Johnson, Parks & Recreation Director. “They recognized the need to replace these trees and organized the event. Baytown is fortunate to have such a dedicated group,” he added.

The event was organized through the efforts of the “Friends of the Baytown Nature Center,” a non-profit corporation made up of area individuals, families, corporations and non-profit groups who believe in the importance of protecting, sustaining and improving the Baytown Nature Center because of its rich historical past and its unique wildlife habitat. Working with the City’s Parks & Recreation Department, they assist in the continued development and improvement of the Center.
