The first event is a celebration of Earth Day beginning at 11 a.m. in front of the Tall Pines Market. This event is for kids ages 10 and older. Help to make the Earth a little bit more beautiful by picking up the trash along the Christopher Creek Loop. Bags will be provided to collect the trash. All aluminum cans will be donated to the Humane Society of Central Arizona (in Payson) to help care for animals. The Christopher Creek Lodge will match in an additional donation the amount of money the kids are able to collect in cans for the Humane Society.
