SUMMARY:Earth Day at the REACH
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 Earth Day event in the Tri-Cities is a partnership including Battelle Memorial Institute\, Ben-Franklin Transit\, the Tri-Cities Chapter of Citizens Climate Education\, Sustainable Tri-Cities\, Life@PNNL\, and the Reach Museum\, which is offering free admission between 10am-2pm on April 22nd.  \n\n\n\nThe theme will be HEALTHY PEOPLE\, HAPPY PLANET.  Our goals are to engage all ages (especially kids) in adopting ways of living that are healthy for themselves\, for their local environment\, and for the global climate\, and to make the event accessible to those without motor vehicles. With grant support from WA Ecology\, Ben Franklin Transit will declare a fare free day on April 22nd to ensure that people from all walks of life can attend the Earth Day celebration in Richland. The $0 fare applies to all the big buses so people can “Try Transit” rather than drive to any activity they have planned for this Saturday from 7am to 10pm. Plus\, we encourage all forms of eco-friendly travel\, like walking\, biking\, rolling and ridesharing\, so that Earth Day participants actively reduce vehicle emissions on April 22nd and beyond to support a happy planet. Parking will be limited so extra bike racks will be available for secure bicycle parking.

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox Hike
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 20\, is the spring equinox\, on which the last sunset of winter – or the first sunset of spring – occurs at 7:12 PM. Some of us will be on top of Badger Mountain to celebrate this biannual celestial event. \n\n\n\nWe’ll leave from the Badger Mountain Trailhead asphalt parking lot\, at the top of Queensgate Dr\, by 6:15 (feel free to leave earlier or later and we’ll see you at the top). We’ll go up the steps on the Canyon Trail to get to the western summit of Badger Mountain\, at the second set of towers facing Rattlesnake Mt\, before the sun sets. Bring a friend\, a light jacket\, and a flashlight in case you linger on the mountaintop. The weather is expected to be okay\, with a high that day of 58. \n\n\n\nIn the ancient tradition of seeing winter’s end and welcoming spring’s arrival\, let’s look to the sky while keeping our feet firmly on the ground. Happy spring.

SUMMARY:Winter Solstice Hike
DESCRIPTION:Plan to get to the summit before sunset\, so give yourself enough time. You can join our small entourage when we leave from the Badger Mt Trailhead asphalt parking lot\, at the top of Queensgate Dr\, at 3:20. We’ll head up the Canyon Trail\, although you might use the Sagebrush route if you don’t like the steps\, but that does add extra travel time. We’ll get to the western summit of Badger Mt\, at the second set of towers facing Rattlesnake Mt\, hopefully before the sun sets. Bring a friend\, appropriate clothing\, and a flashlight. Hope to see you there.
