Summary
The Charlestown Township Environmental Advisory Committee set Native Species Day for May 20, 2026 (10 a.m.–2 p.m.), invited art submissions from Charlestown Elementary and Charlestown Playhouse, and assigned volunteer tasks including judging and banner procurement.
The Charlestown Township Environmental Advisory Committee on April 13 set Native Species Day for May 20, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will feature a student art contest and outreach about how to grow pollinator plants from seed.
The committee said it will ask Charlestown Elementary and Charlestown Playhouse for art submissions. Submissions will be selected and judged at a meeting on May 16 at Jill Green’s house; the selected pieces will be hung in the township building on May 18 and shared on social media and in the township newsletter. Prizes were specified for the art contest: first prize puzzles and second prize watercolor workbooks; local seed packets will be distributed to all contestants and teachers.
Jill Green was assigned to ask Pickering to make a banner for the EAC table. The committee also listed logistical to‑dos for the day, including setup and outreach through the township newsletter and social channels.
The event aims to promote native plants and pollinator habitat and to engage families and students in hands-on conservation work. The committee will finalize volunteer assignments and promotional materials in the weeks before the event.
