Trees for Tribs Planting Project

Thanks to a Trees for Tributaries grant from the State's Department of Environmental Conservation Hudson Estuary Program, the Tarrytown Environmental Advisory Council  together with the Village Department of Public Works and other volunteers successfully planted 200 shrubs and trees to help restore native habitat and protect the lakeshore from erosion. Having been cleared periodically through the years, the site had become overrun with invasive vegetation. The tree tubes are designed to give the young plants protection from the deer. The DPW will continue its work to keep the invasive species at bay. When the tubes come off, the site will be populated by native shrubs and trees including Silky and Gray Dogwoods, Serviceberry, Highbush Cranberry, Winterberry, Beach Plum, Willow, Oak and Maple. Check out the video below that Suzy Allman, a TEAC volunteer made about the project.
