FAYETTEVILLLE TONIGHT WHERE TODAY'S PICTURE- PERFECT WEATHER PAVED THE WAY FOR A NICE GATHERING. JACOB? YOU HIT IT SPOT ON CHIP.. WITH THE SUN OUT TODAY THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT FOR AN EARTH DAY CELEBRATION. VENDORS AND TEACHERS WERE THERE TODAY TO TEACH KIDS, ADULTS, AND EVERYONE WHO WANTED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT NATURE IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. <> "Get out of our normal routine, and, you know, work school, and just get to get a really broad idea of all the ecological and the animals and the plants and the bugs and all sorts of really cool things that are going on just in our backyard." SUNDAY WAS THE PERFECT DAY TO DO JUST THAT. <> "Get off the computer for a little bit." WITH SUNNY SKIES AND EARTH DAY COMING UP.. <> "It means a lot to us to celebrate the earth and to not only celebrate it, but to learn how to protect it." PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER N-W-A WERE AT THE BOTANICAL GARDEN OF THE OZARKS. FOR THE ANNUAL EARTH DAY CELEBRATION. <> "Small groups of people coming together is how things change and how we promote knowledge and environmental stewardship." THE CELEBRATION IS A PLACE TO LEARN.. AND OF COURSE A LITTLE FUN. <> "We don't want it to be kind of like a boring in a classroom feel. That's why we'd like to have a lot of the experts." ZACHARY TIPTON IS ONE OF THOSE EXPERTS, HE'S A TEACHER NATURALIST AT THE OZARK NATURAL SCIENCE CENTER IN HUNTSVILLE. <> "We've got about almost eight miles of trail out in Huntsville." WHERE THEY TYPICALLY TEACH 5THAND 6TH GRADERS. BUT TODAY.. A NEW OPPORTUNITY. <> "we get a lot of younger kids that wouldn't have had the opportunity to come out yet." GIVING THOSE KIDS A CHANCE TO FEEL NATURE.. <> "They're reaching their hands in our mystery boxes, they're petting all these animals that they maybe have seen in like a book or something, but have never had that chance to interact with them." AND SEE IT UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL. <> "The most important part too, is seeing it out there. And it not being just a tree or animal or a bug, but how these things are interacting with each other." MAYORS FROM FAYETTEVILLE, SPRINGDALE, AND BENTONVILLE WERE AT THE EVENT TODAY AS WELL TO TALK TO THE COMMUNITY. LIVE I
