🌳 More trees and shrubs are taking root across the Capital Region this week!

In Cohoes, we continued planting along the 787 Pedestrian Walkway with help from 30 Cohoes High School students. Together, we planted native trees and shrubs to add greenery along the path and provide edible berries for the community to forage.

We also planted more than 30 street trees this week through our Free Street Tree Program in Albany, Menands, Watervliet, and Troy.

Next week: 81 additional street trees in Mechanicville!

Thank you, Cohoes City School District!

Every week, our Squash Hunger program partners with local organizations to get healthy food to communities across the Capital Region.
