Earth Day 2026

We all share the same future, so let's shape a better one. For all generations.

As The Nature Conservancy celebrates 75 years of working to protect and preserve nature, let’s celebrate our planet’s incredible power—to amaze us, inspire us, teach us and provide for us. Earth Day 2026 is a moment to honor the future we share and the one we’re creating together. It’s a day for all the generations that got us here, and for all the generations to come.

For generations, conservation has been powered by people coming together. On this Earth Day, there are so many ways we can come together with nature to celebrate, find inspiration and take action.

Learn about Nature

The fastest way to find a solution is to truly understand the problem, and, truthfully, the problem is complex. Rather than let it be daunting, just start by picking something that is of interest to you and dive in.

There are many different resources:

Volunteer for Nature

Our environmental legacy will be a testament to the power of collective action, across all levels of the community, city, state and country. The steps of those made at local levels become a ground swell of action.

What’s happening in your local community that you could be a part of that contributes bit by bit to making things better?

  • Local and state council activities (see their websites)
