About our cover picture: At the April 27th healthy Kids Day in Patriots Park, TEAC had a table where we taught kids about composting, and asked them (and their parents!) to draw on our  poster their thanks, intentions, and wishes for our Earth. The whole poster is up on EarthMonth10591.org, where you can zoom in on the great drawings.

TARRYTOWN AND SLEEPY HOLLOW:
EARTH MONTH A HUGE SUCCESS!
______________________
 



2024 Earth Month was an awesome success! From walks around the neighborhood to clean ups across the village we had participation from people of all ages, getting dirty and exploring our wonderful spot on Earth. During April: 

  • Hosted a Compost Giveback Day
  • Started our Community Garden at the Paulding School
  • Explored trails by the lakes and learned about native trees, invasive species, and some of Tarrytown’s history
  • Cleaned up trash, debris and invasive vines across the village, parks, along the Hudson River, and in and around the Lakes
  • Planted native seeds and gardens
  • Hosted a Repair Cafe, helping community members fix household and personal items, and avoiding increased waste being sent to  the incinerator (aka waste-to-energy plant)
  • Created a Save the Earth banner with children at the YMCA Healthy Kids Day/Duck Derby! (Visit our EARTH MONTH website to zoom in on the whole poster)
This year, we organized and coordinated Earth Month planning and activities with Sustainable Sleepy Hollow! Together we are better, and the community engagement and overall enthusiasm for the month proved that!
