TARRYTOWN AND SLEEPY HOLLOW: EARTH MONTH A HUGE SUCCESS!
The Tarrytown Environmental Advisory Council (TEAC) and Sustainable Sleepy Hollow (SSH) joined forces for a powerful series of Earth Month events celebrating “Our Power, Our Planet.” Together we are better, and the community engagement and overall enthusiasm for the month proved that!
During April and early May, we:
- Hosted the Horseman Family Festival
- Had a TEAC Vine Squad outing
- Held an Energy-Smart house tour
- Hosted a Compost Giveback Day
- Started our Community Garden at the Paulding School
- Cleaned up the RiverWalk with the Friends of the RiverWalk
- Held public “Listening Sessions”, speaking to Village Trustees in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow about environmental issues
- Promoted a “Free Day” across the Villages for residents to exchange unwanted items streetside
- Cleaned up trash, debris and invasive vines across Village parks, along the Hudson River, and around the Lakes
- Planted native seeds and gardens
- Hosted a Repair Cafe, helping community members fix household and personal items, and avoid trashing them
Thanks to all our participants and volunteers!
