want to get actively involved in sustainability efforts after attending this year’s event. “We really encourage people to engage and get involved,” she said. “This is about learning and engaging and celebrating the earth.” Visitors will have a chance to put their own touch on the earth through a new activity at the festival. Sustainable Cherry Hill’s art and sustainability task force will be creating a Pieceful Participation Wall at the event. Residents will be encouraged to contribute a drawing, craft or other art form explaining how they feel about the earth and sustainability. All contributions will be used to create an up-cycled art exhibit. “We hope we can tour this exhibit around in the weeks and the months after the festival,” Jorett said. The festival will also offer some new healthy eating options. New Jersey American Water will also be on hand to re-fill anyone’s reusable water bottle for free. “We’ve really honed in on the food offerings to make the food offerings healthy options for people,” Jorett said. The festival’s popularity continues to grow thanks to the partnership between Sustainable Cherry Hill, Cherry Hill Township and Cherry Hill Public Schools. The township will collect e-waste at the event. In addition, a number of township organizations and the Cherry Hill Fire Department will be on hand. All public schools in Cherry Hill will have a display set up at the festival, and students will be on hand to present their projects. Jorett said the partnership between the township, Sustainable Cherry Hill and the schools has helped the event grow with each passing year. “It’s always an orchestration,” she said. “It does take a village, and we have an amazing number of people who stepped up to organize the event.” The day’s festivities will kick off at 8 a.m. with the Family Fun Bike Ride. Participants can ride on a two- or nine-mile course through the neighborhood near Croft Farm. Riders must at least 8 years old and can register for the event at www.sustainablecherryhill.org. Sustainable Cherry Hill Earth Festival will be held rain or shine on April 25. The event is free and open to the entire community.
