Here’s how you can celebrate Earth Day in the CSRA

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Living on Earth is one thing we all have in common, check out where you can celebrate our planet this week in the CSRA.

Earth Day is an annual event on April 22, to demonstrate for environmental protection. In 1970, the birth of Earth Day came from the modern environmental movement.

Are you seeing lots of cicadas in the CSRA? You’re not alone

Folks are starting to see cicadas ahead of the expected “simultaneous explosion” of two broods — and the insects may not look like you expect.

White cicadas aren't albino, they're young adults whose exoskeleton quickly darkens.

Check out these local events for the 2024 celebration.
