Last week, thanks to and Parks and Trails New York, we acquired a variety of trees to plant within our park as part of the 25 million trees planted by 2033 initiative. The DEC encourages all New Yorkers to record trees they plant via the tree tracker on their website dec.ny.gov.

Earlier in the year, we acquired a large variety of plants from the Phillipstown Garden club that we were able to put in the ground in various areas of the park, including in the Hubbard Lodge area and at the Cornish Estate ruins. These plantings were fulfilling work for us, and we are excited to see the new growth as it progresses!
