Barrington is co-sponsoring a special workshop focused on educating children on simple steps they can take to help the planet.

“Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Simple Changes for a Healthier Planet” will take place on Thursday, Jan. 16 at Collis Family Gallery at Barrington Public Library from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

According to the town’s newsletter, the workshop will be led by the farmer-educators of the Open fArms Retreat and will be geared to children ages five to 10.
