Ansonia Nature Center celebrates Earth Day

Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center staff and supporters marked Earth Day today under sunny skies. This is our friend, Valley Arts Council Vice President Steve DiRienzo of Derby, manning the arts council's booth.

This is the site where the wooden playground at the nature center stood for 25 years. The aging structure was razed last week after a child was injured by a large splinter. 
There is a drive to raise funds for a new playscape, pictured below. It is expected to cost more than $180,000.

Stay tuned for more photos in an upcoming Valley Voice newsletter.
