You can join the global Earth Day movement early by visiting Cape Henry Lighthouse April 20 to learn how to make a positive impact on your environment and the planet every day. Earth Day is April 22 and this year’s theme is “Protect Our Species.” At the lighthouse you can learn about ocean life in the Chesapeake Bay, including whales, dolphins and sea turtles! Our historic interpreters will also share tips on what you can do to help protect them.
