To conclude this year’s Earth Month, Groundwork Hudson Valley is hosting an invasive vine workshop, and we would love for you to take part. Stakeholders along the Saw Mill River are invited to help develop a long-term action plan to eliminate the dangerous invasive vines that are destroying native habitat. These species are choking our ecosystem and compromising the health of our trees. Dying trees pose a threat to the adjacent parkway and trailway, the people that use them, and the river habitat that plants and animals depend on for their survival.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Community members, volunteers, students, Westchester County Parks Officials, NY State DOT officials, conservationists, ecologists, municipal leaders, local landscapers, and business owners. If everyone works a little towards solving the problem, we can achieve a lot.
Last year, over 250 people gathered at 10 sites along the Saw Mill River to remove trash and restore habitat.
We need your help to make this event a resounding success again this year! Be part of the group of volunteers (families, civic and youth groups, businesses) to join or lead cleanup crews, bagging tons of trash from streets, parks and streams, and connecting with neighbors and the outdoors. It’s fun, practical, meaningful, and easy. You gather some friends and Groundwork will help you find a site near you and provide all of the tools, supplies, and training you need. Do your cleanup, leave the bags for the local highway department, and report your cleanup results to SMRC.
Register by May 1st to have your group name included on our event T-Shirt and get a few for free!
The Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Daylighting of Larkin Plaza is scheduled for Wednesday, December 15th at 12pm. Please come and celebrate this momentous occasion with us! Plans for the daylighting of The Saw Mill River in Larkin Plaza have been in the works for many years. We are excited to finally be breaking ground on this project that we believe will greatly benefit the environment of downtown Yonkers for all stakeholders-businesses, residents, fish, plants, birds, and more!
