Creek Week and National Wildlife Week coming up

Creek Week, an annual event celebrating Durham's waterways, is March 20 to 27th. The schedule is online at www.keepdurhambeautiful.org. There will be several trash cleanups on the 20th, replacing the regular Earth Day cleanups, workshops on how to adopt a waterway and use the public equipment, nature hikes, kayaking, art workshops using the trash collected on the 20th, a storytime for kids, and more events all week.

According to the Piedmont Wildlife Center (www.piedmontwildlifecenter.org) March 15-21 is National Wildlife Week, and they have some ideas about how to celebrate on their website, and information about an annual wildlife photo contest.
