We are pleased to announce that we have received an invitation from the Youth Climate Action Fund and the Mayor's office to showcase our projects at their upcoming Earth Day event.

Good news! Grant approved for "The Native Plant Olympics" and "Solar Bench" project. Our vision of collaborating with the community, business, and government is coming to fruition. Thank you to all who supported us. 

More details will be provided as the city prepares our contract.

We were invited by the City of White Plains to submit our application for a grant to help combat climate change.  

This opportunity allows the City to fund micro-grants to rapidly launch and support youth-led climate initiatives - like us!. 

Wish us luck!

Arbor is making waves in our community! 👏

Through her dedicated efforts, Arbor is inspiring and guiding our youth towards environmental stewardship. Her work is planting seeds of change that will grow into a more sustainable future.

"Round of Applause" 👏 

Board of Directors Arbor is participating in the "Cleanup Your Happy Place on Coastal Cleanup Day" initiative. You can, too! 

Whether it's a beach, a park, or any outdoor space you cherish, let's unite to keep our community beautiful. 

Every piece of litter collected matters. Your effort, no matter how small, contributes to a cleaner, healthier environment for all of us and the wildlife we share it with.

Enjoy! Laugh! and be tactful in the comment! Sorry for the poor string shoe quality=) 

We understand that not everyone can access the nature preserve. We launched our first YouTube live-stream on July 27, 2024 (details below).  Stay tuned for beautiful autumn and maybe catch a glimpse of a wild turkey!

We believe nature is the bedrock of humanity. Each season, we want to share nature with our community. The location will be a secret. The first person who guesses it correctly will receive an Amazon gift card.  I encourage you to buy eco-friendly stuff! In the last five minutes, we will have the community name a plant or animal shown for another chance to win a prize! 

Since this is our first attempt, it's going to be a bit cheesy. We want to hear about your experience and learn from you, about how we can improve. Send us a chat on our webpage.

We are 100% of our targeted 100 plastic items.  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/127A0WHon8dRLegbatFenk7Q5aEEYV7WmAc1px0AGwfM/edit?usp=sharing  

The majority of our plastics are not properly labeled or recycled. Over 90% end up in our environment, inadvertently becoming hazards to all life.

We believe education and action on policy are the keys to a healthier future.

 We are actively collecting and cataloging plastics that have the potential to become pervasive in our society and harm innocent animals.   Scientific evidence also shows microplastics and nanoplastics have infiltrated our tissues.  Plastics do not discriminate based on social stratification; they affect all members of society.
