EARTH DAY / EARTH MONTH HIGHLIGHTS

By Rachel Tieger, TEAC Co-Chair
 

Thanks to all of our dedicated volunteers, Tarrytown was buzzing with Earth month activities throughout April 2022! Of the many earth friendly events held around town, there were multiple cleanups, a vines removal project, clothing and houseware swap, film screening, bird walk, gratitude circle, art projects, and more.




Always a favorite Earth Day activity, the bird walk at the Tarrytown Lakes on April 23rd was led by naturalist Eric Stone, founder of Rewilding School. Twelve participants attended this early morning event, kicking off this day of action and fun. We spotted a bald eagle, one of the mute swans, a pair of wood ducks, Canada geese, some robins, grackles and more. We also observed and discussed many of the invasive plants around the lakes and in the woods.

A huge shout out to the Tarrytown Parks, DPW and Police Departments for their participation and hard work.



If you would like to participate in more environmental activities, please join us for the Riverkeeper Sweep on May 7th (rain or shine).
