Happy to lend a hand with our friends at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Broome County as we plant replacement trees in the beautiful Cutler Botanic Garden. 🌱🌳

A severe wind storm last summer caused significant damage -snapping even healthy, mature trees across parts of Binghamton.

It’s great to be part of restoring and strengthening this community space. Looking forward to seeing these new trees grow for years to come!

Happy Earth Day! There are countless ways to make a meaningful difference for our environment 🌎

🌳 Plant a tree
🐝 Create a pollinator garden
🥾 Clean up trash on your road
🌱 Reduce food waste
💧Support conservation groups or local clean-up efforts
💡 Switch to LED bulbs or unplug devices you’re not using
🚲 Swap a short car trip for biking or walking when you can
🛍️ Cut back on single-use plastics

Even small habits, done consistently, matter more than one big gesture once a year.
