City awarded $20,000 forestry grant
The City of Newburgh was
announced as a winner of TD Green
Streets, a grant program from TD
Bank, and the Arbor Day Foundation
supporting innovation in urban forestry. The $20,000 grant will fund
projects throughout the City of
Newburgh, including tree plantings
along Liberty Street in Washington
Heights, a new watering vehicle, and
community education on the importance and care of trees.
TD Green Streets is a component
of TD Forests, a North American
initiative that helps protect critical
forest habitats equal to the amount
of paper the bank uses each year.
Together, these programs underscore
the bank’s commitment to forest protection and stewardship, and are a
direct investment in the health of our
urban tree canopy.
“TD Bank is proud to award TD
Green Streets grants to these municipalities for enhancing their green spaces
through urban forestry projects,” said
Joe Doolan, Head of Environmental
Affairs for TD Bank. “We’re committed
to being an environmental leader, and
our work with the Arbor Day Foundation
helps us do that in communities across
our footprint.”
“We’re so excited to join forces with
the Newburgh Heights Association
and local residents for our ‘Liberty
Street Re-forestation’ project,” says
Richard Harper, Chair of Newburgh’s
Conservation Advisory Committee.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to
educate people on the importance of
trees and how to care for them. There
are so many economic, environmental, and health benefits of trees, particularly in the urban environment.
We are especially proud of having
been selected by TD Green Stre
