Sunday is Green Day at Beaver Creek. And no, we're not talking about the color or the punk band. Green Day is an opportunity for families to paint, plant trees and take snowshoe tours.
Guests can make a donation to the U.S. Forest Service's "Plant-A-Tree" program. Each dollar donated will plant one tree.
The event includes complimentary "Keep Winter White" guided snowshoes tours of McCoy Park at the top of the ski area. The tours depart from the Beaver Creek Nordic Center at 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Guests should arrive 15 minutes prior to the tour to be outfitted with equipment. Kids should be at least 6 years of age and willing to walk for one hour or more. The tour offers the opportunity to learn about the surrounding forests and environment.
The Beaver Creek Environmental Committee will provide information on the resort's year-round environmental initiatives including its Certified Green Restaurant and IdleWise programs. Guests can also talk with representatives from the Forest Service and meet Smokey the Bear.
Oh, and there's wild birds! The Raptor Education Foundation will have a live birds of prey demonstration from 12-3 p.m.
Green Day will take place in Beaver Creek Village near the ice rink Sunday from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Guests can also visit the Beaver Creek Environmental Learning Center at the top of the Cinch Express Lift (#8). The Center is open daily in the winter and provides educational information and visual displays.
