Will these Newburgh blossoms survive the return to winter?
NEWBURGH – The City of Newburgh has been named a winner of TD Green Streets, a grant program from TD Bank and the Arbor Day Foundation to support innovation in urban forestry.
The $20,000 grant will fund projects throughout the city including tree plantings along Liberty Street in Washington Heights, a new watering vehicle, and community education on the importance and care of trees.
“There are so many economic, environmental, and health benefits of trees, particularly in the urban environment,” said Richard Harper, chairman of Newburgh’s Conservation Advisory Committee.
