Earth Day has its roots at Airlie...

Earth day Founder, Senator Gaylord Nelson and Airlie Founder, Dr. Murdock Head plant a tree at Airlie to commemorate Earth Day 1993.

Did you know... Democratic Senator Gaylord Nelson first introduced his idea for Earth Day to a group of medical and law students participating in a 1969 conference at Airlie Center. The result was the first nationwide demonstration in support of the environment. Today Earth Day is celebrated worldwide and continues to promote and raise environmental consciousness.
