APRIL 2020: LET'S MAKE IT AN EARTH MONTH!
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
_____________________
 
We’ve made some changes to this year’s Earth Day Celebration and we hope you join us -- not physically, of course, but on your own, while you're practicing safe social distancing and getting fresh air in our parks and on our trails.  
 
 
This month, we’ll celebrate Earth Day by regularly posting, to our website, Facebook and Instagram accounts, events and tips, including:
  • Do-it-Yourself Earth day clean-up suggestions that you can do alone or with a safely-distanced friend;
  • Bird watching with help from a local ornithologist;
  • A map of local walks (and tips for some further-afield, lesser-known trails) .

CLEAN-UPS IN TARRYTOWN
YOU CAN STILL DO A CLEAN-UP FOR EARTH DAY

________________________

 

IT'S OFFICIAL: Large-group clean-ups are cancelled for Earth Day because of the 'rona. But you can still grab a bag, some gloves, and some solid boots and pick up the garbage that's been accumulating in our neighborhoods since last Earth Day.

The Village of Tarrytown will collect whatever trash you've picked up. Just send an email to administrator@tarrytowngov.com, along with the location of your trash bag and a picture (so they know what to look for).

So here are our suggestions for places to tidy up a bit. And remember:

  • DON'T go out without gloves;
  • DON'T drop your gloves on the ground and leave them (!)
  • WEAR a mask if at all possible;
  • STAY CLEAR of other people -- at least six feet away at all times;
  • WASH UP thoroughly afterwards;
  • POST your clean-up pictures on Instagram, using the hashtag, #EARTHDAYTTOWN
  • LET THE VILLAGE KNOW your garbage is ready for collection.


You can clean up anywhere in Tarrytown! Your neighborhood, the trails, the parks, the train station. There are reports of large amounts of trash being left on the ground, as well as used rubber gloves.

Walk them or bike them, Tarrytown's got a whole bunch of trails for you to try. Take a "red-line challenge" and do all the trails -- and don't forget to post your pictures to Instagram, using the hashtag, #EARTHDAYTTOWN.
