Earth Week

Thank you to everyone who took part in Richmond Earth Week celebrations in 2022! Check back here in early April for more information on 2023 celebrations.

About Earth Week in Richmond
The City of Richmond hosts annual Earth Week celebrations in the spring as a fun and educational way for families to engage in sustainable environmental practices, learn about nature and local ecology and to beautify the community. The weeks’ events include activities, workshops and educational session hosted by the City of Richmond and led by various community partners. 

Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunting game that uses a smartphone or GPS device. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates to find the prize - a hidden geocache container. With 3 million active geocaches around the world, the hunt can be taken internationally. Visit the Geocaching webpage for more information.

Adventure Lab (ongoing)
The Geocaching Adventure Lab is an app that allows you to complete in engaging scavenger hunts. Adventure Labs differ from traditional Geocaching as they don't feature physical cache containers, just pure virtual exploration, problem-solving, and fun! Start playing Richmond GeoTour Terra Nova Adventure Lab.

Partners for Beautification Program
Residents looking to participate in other ways can consider the Partners for Beautification Program, which promotes citizen stewardship in Richmond. This program supports individuals, groups and businesses looking to clean up litter by adopting an area in their neighbourhood, or engaging in shoreline clean-ups along the many trails that line the island city.
