Happy Earth Day! If you want to celebrate our favorite planet, here are a few activities happening around the North. On April 22, stop by Oryana in Traverse City; they’ve partnered with Archangel Ancient Tree Archive to give away free champion black willow trees cloned from the trees at the Grand Traverse Commons (pictured). Also April 22, Grass River Natural Area in Bellaire has their “Big Nature Sit” ($10) and White Birch Outfitters in Gaylord will organize a downtown cleanup project from 3:30-5:30pm. April 27, Old Town Playhouse hosts a slew of nonprofits for a free screening of The Smell of Money, one woman’s battle against one of the world’s largest pork companies. Last but not least, Black Star Farms offers a special Earth Day dinner on April 27 ($125) in their dining series featuring local products and produce.
