The Environmental Justice Fellowship is a collaborative program of the Conservation Advisory Council, Outdoor Promise and the Greater Newburgh Parks Conservancy. Together, we are working to create a strong, community-led movement to plant & care for trees in the City of Newburgh and to build BIPOC leadership in environmental justice work. We are thrilled that the Fellowship was made possible by partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation and TD Bank. Many thanks to additional supporters of this celebration: Dreamburgh, The Kitchen, Scenic Hudson, and the fabulous folks at the City of Newburgh Dept. of Public Works!

Newburgh’s Environmental Justice Fellowship resulted in the planting of 32 new trees in our city — 16 thanks to a grant from the Arbor Day Foundation and TD Bank, and 16 “matching” trees from the City’s Conservation Advisory Council. None of this would have been possible without the hard work of the City’s Department of Public Works employees, who dug all those tree pits and — literally — did the heavy lifting. THANKS, JOHN, STEVE AND JIM!!
