April marks Earth Month, a time to focus on how everyday actions — at home and in the community — shape Fort Worth’s air, water and natural resources.
Across Fort Worth, City departments and community partners are offering activities that help residents get involved, learn something new and make simple changes at home.
Ways to get involved
City-led programs and community events taking place across Fort Worth include:
Litter cleanup opportunities: Residents can participate in Special Event Litter Cleanups hosted by Environmental Services across Fort Worth and in the Spring Trash Bash along the Trinity River, organized by the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD). These efforts help remove litter and debris from neighborhoods, waterways and public spaces.
Library programs and activities: Fort Worth Public Library is offering hands-on programs such as recycled art, nature journaling and kindness rock painting. Workshops like Bring Color to Your Garden highlight creative ways to reuse materials and make sustainable choices at home.
Outdoor and community programs: Residents can join Family Nature Exploration programs through Fort Worth Public Library or attend an Earth Day celebration for seniors hosted by the Park & Recreation Department — opportunities to spend time outdoors and engage with local natural areas.
Everyday actions that make a difference
Earth Month also highlights small, daily choices that contribute to long-term environmental benefits:
Rethink waste: Recycle accepted items in your blue recycling cart and keep plastic bags, food and liquids out to avoid contamination. During spring cleaning, bring extra materials to City Drop-Off Stations for proper disposal. See disposal options, recycling guidelines and drop-off locations.
Stop litter at the source: Securely bag garbage and yard waste to keep debris out of streets, storm drains and waterways. Small steps at home help stop litter before it starts.
Conserving energy: Turn off lights and unplug electronics when not in use or use power strips to switch off multiple devices at once. Adjust thermostats to avoid unnecessary heating and cooling. See energy‑saving tips.
Supporting air quality: When possible, walk or bike for short trips. Be mindful of activities like driving and mowing that increase emissions, especially during warmer months.
