The Village of East Nassau Climate Smart Committee is trying to help our community reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the changing climate by promoting programs at the local level and advocating for policies locally and beyond that make climate impact a primary consideration of all activities. The committee meets regularly with contributors from the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Rensselaer County and the Capital District Regional Planning Commission as well as residents of the Village of East Nassau and surrounding communities. The committee currently meets bi-weekly on Saturdays at 9:30am via zoom. Contact Lydia Davis for the zoom link. |

Trees for Tribs Program
Hudson River Estuary Annual Trees for Tribs Program
If you own or manage land along a tributary stream of the tidal Hudson River, you can now apply to receive free native plants to help reduce erosion and improve habitat along your stream. Plants are available for large projects (more than 60 plants) on both public and privately-owned lands. Hudson River Estuary staff can help you with a planting plan and work with your volunteers.
Apply by March 1 for a spring planting. For more information and to download an application, visit DEC's Hudson River Estuary Trees for Tribs website.
