Environmental Stewardship Festival

Willistown Friends Meeting organizes this festival annually to help raise awareness of our responsibility for the local, national and international environment.

Each year, we are joined by a host of organizations which are working locally to preserve and protect the environment. There are speakers, workshops, and displays, as well as activities for children, plants for sale and food.

Everyone is invited to join us for a wonderful day filled with fun and learning as we help protect Planet Earth!
