Our Powe, Our Planet - Earth Day 2026

Morgan Creek Vineyards is among many businesses, organizations, and individuals around the world that participate in the annual EARTH DAY observance.
Each in our own way we bring a community focus to the importance of the Earth Day international observance.

We remember-

JOHN DENVER AND THE ENVIRONMENT
In 2917, New Ulm’s, Minnesota Music Hall of Fame inductee, John Denver wasr recognized at Morgan Creek Vineyards during our annual event through song and story.

New Ulm’s Environmentalist and Singer-Songwriter Scott Sparlin explained that it makes sense to link Denver with an environmental holiday such as EARTH DAY. “John Denver believed strongly in an environmental ethic, so to emphasize and celebrate that on Earth Day is really appropriate. It’s amazing how simple songs influence modern culture and, in his own way, John did so on many fronts.” - Sparlin

As a renowned environmentalist and humanitarian, Denver's membership in many organizations included the Cousteau Society and Friends of the Earth. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan presented Denver with the Presidential World Without Hunger Award. In 1993, he won the Albert Schweitzer Music Award for humanitarian efforts.
