Today we celebrate Earth Day. Of course, for those of us who prefer to spend our time streamside with a fly rod in hand, we like to think of every day as Earth Day!

The first Earth Day, held on April 22, 1970 attracted an estimated 20 million participants across the United States. This event sparked a significant increase in public concern about environmental degradation and pollution. It led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of landmark environmental legislation like the Clean Water Act which has been critical to protecting trout streams.
 

Here are a few ways that you can join us in honoring Earth Day today and in the month ahead!

1. TAKE CARE OF THE EARTH WITH YOUR HEART
