Hundreds of residents enjoyed Streamwood Environmental Education Day (SEED) and our Art Appreciation around the World events on April 27. Attendees enjoyed walking between both events along the path between Village Hall and Poplar Creek Library.

At the SEED event, residents learned useful gardening tips and conservation techniques, saw the latest hybrid vehicles, and enjoyed a birds of prey demonstration. E-waste and used prescription drugs were also collected during the SEED event. Nearly 14,000 lbs. of electronic waste and 45 lbs. of unused prescription drugs were collected!
