Clean the Bay Day - June annually - Shenandoah Green and other area organizations helped establish the first Clean the Bay Day in Staunton. By providing a data collection sheet for clean-ups in our area, we have begun to gain an understanding of the quantity and types of litter that are clogging our waterways and polluting our landscape.

EarthTober Poetry Jam – October Date TBD at Sunspots Pavilion – As part of the Staunton Jams, enjoy music and readings of the winning poems from the Earth Day Staunton Poetry Contest. Molly Murphy of the Judy Chops and friends will provide musical interludes.
