Shining a light on this planet we live on. It’s important for president of the Fort Thomas Forest Conservancy, Chuck Keller.

“We try to showcase all the elements that bring you into contact with your natural heritage—whether it’s through art, music, science, hiking, gardening, whatever it will be,” said Keller.

The conservancy did that this weekend by helping to put on the Fort Thomas Earth Day celebration.

Keller called the party, the largest earth day celebration in northern Kentucky.

“It is pretty much self-proclaimed, but we are the only Earth Day celebration right now that’s this large,” he said.

People could swing by the park and see vendors with resources, information, produce, honey, and even free trees.

“We really just wanted to do our part to help reduce the carbon emissions and thought it’d be a great way to hand out trees into the community and have everyone join us,” Jeremy Neff, with Regal Rexnord, said.

Keller said it’s important to recognize our planet and keep it alive and thriving.

“More importantly, we’re all about preserving that land for future generations. What we’re doing now will be of even more value a hundred years from now,” he said.
