Somerton, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Locals in Yuma celebrated Earth Day, bringing recognition to conservation and sustainability.

The Second Annual Cocopah Earth Day Festival took place at the Cocopah Reservation near Somerton on Saturday.

The event featured environmental booths, petting zoos, live music, and more.

The event's organizer Jenn Alspach says these events plant Earth-friendly seeds in our youth's lives.

"We're just coming together to celebrate nature and our wonderful community that we have. It's important to bring the kids out and learn to respect nature and plant seeds. They're really getting hands-on out here which is wonderful," shares Alspach.

Earth Day is right around the corner and is celebrated every year on April 22.
