Great to kick-off CT Trails Day with DEEP Commissioner Dykes! I’m in awe of the strong support for the state’s forests, parks, trails and beaches & the #passporttotheparks program. 185 events. 111 towns. Hundreds of volunteers. Thank you!
Awakening the Sleeping Giant of Natural Climate Solutions at @CTConservation 40th annual land conservation conference. We have great potential as a state to be a climate leader.

The Birds and Bees Protection Act is on Governor Hochul's desk -- and her pen could protect New York's bees, butterflies, birds, bats, and humans from toxic neonics! Please urge @GovKathyHochul to sign the BBPA!
Toxic neonic pesticides decimate NY's pollinators, contaminate water supplies and threaten the health of NYers. @GovKathyHochul must act and sign the Birds and Bees Protection Act: a nation-leading bill which curbs needless neonic pollution, founded on extensive @Cornell science. The bill is supported by the entire enviro community, health experts, religious leaders and many farmers. @GovKathyHochul, sign S156A/A7640 today!
Congratulations to the New England conservation community & the team at @CTwoodlands for their work leading to the designation of the New England Scenic Trail as a National Park! ctinsider.com/news/article/n… via @insider_ct

Excited that this bill is on the Gov's desk! Thank you @SenatorHinchey & @DidiBarrett106 for sponsoring the SITED Act, which would equip local govts with the resources they need to better understand the opportunities & impacts of renewable energy siting within their communities.
CLIMATE SOLUTIONS: Thank @GovKathyHochul for her leadership in the fight against #climatechange & urge her to sign the SITED Act to strengthen community engagement on vital projects like solar arrays, wind turbines & more: governor.ny.gov/content/gove… #HowToSolarNow #DefendTheValley
I'm very excited to be joining the incredible team @CTwoodlands! Connecting people to the land to protect our forests, parks, walking trails & open spaces for all people is vital to our well-being & future generations.

Wow! After 25+ yrs at Scenic Hudson, I'm moving on. More on where soon. I'm grateful for many diverse experiences-trail builder, volunteer manager, educator, policy director. The heart & soul has always been the communities & people I've worked with. Thank you Hudson Valley & NY!

Nice to see my fellow advocate @jeremycherson1 quoted about the bipartisan NY-NJ Watershed Protection Act. Let's make 2023 the year to get it done! patch.com/new-york/ossining/…
Now that the state budget is done, communities in the #HudsonValley are ready to get to work and partner with the state to create a better, more resilient future for all. Thank you @GovKathyHochul

"Scenic Hudson also is grateful for the work of @SenatorHinchey & @sarahana who secured payments to the City of Kingston and Town of Ulster that will help them balance lost tax revenue related to the establishment of the new and popular Sojourner Truth State Park.”
The #FarmBill provides much needed support for farmers & our agricultural economy that work to bring food to our tables. But it also provides big cobenefits for natural habitats & species, including New York's own Bog Turtle! tinyurl.com/FarmBillHelpsBog…
Community Gardens are strong in the Northeast - let's make sure the #FarmBill provides robust support for them through its Urban Agriculture Innovative Production Grants tinyurl.com/StayingPower4Com…

Get ready to make a splash! Alongside @GillibrandNY, I'm reintroducing the NY-NJ Watershed Protection Act to keep our rivers flowing and communities thriving. With $20M annually for new restoration, this bill is a stream come true for the Hudson, Mohawk, and Raritan Rivers!

DEC Commissioner @BasilSeggos said, "With record funding now available through the Environmental Bond Act and sustained investments in state programs, municipalities have more opportunities to implement necessary projects that protect water quality." #EarthWeek
EFC's favorite way to celebrate #EarthWeek is with a new WIIA grant round! @GovKathyHochul today announced $425M is available starting May 3, bolstered by the first spending of the Environmental Bond Act. @NYSDEC @HealthNYGov @NYSDOS #InvestInOurPlanet governor.ny.gov/news/governo…
