Earth Day was started in 1970 to raise awareness of the enviroment. Not suprisingly, that is a subject near and dear to many of the individuals and orgaizations that are involved with angler education and other aspects of connecting our youth with the natural world around them.
Below is a picture shared with us by Theresa Stabo of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Department of Natural Resources Secretary Matt Frank fishing for backyard bass at an event on the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.
