Village of Red Hook ~ Climate Smart Communities Monthly Report ’ ' May 2024
The taskforce met for the second time and we were hitting the ground running. We have started our work on the assessment and figuring out where are we best positioned to work through the action items that support the village’s endeavors in being more climate smart. We also had a discussion on partnering with the Public Spaces Initiative for their upcoming annual Hello Blooms festival which will be held at the Red Hook Community Center on Saturday, June 15[th] . After a little discussion the taskforce decided that it would be a great collaborative project and so will be working with PSI to build joint programming that involves
“greening up” the Village and how that works with the CSC actions for a healthy Village climate. There are particular action items that speak directly to pollinators and creating education materials for our residents about is a large component of this “green” track with CSC.
This taskforce is open and still recruiting. If you are interested in being involved and to express ideas and knowledge of the way to best move forward and working within the team setting to build the pathway forward we are interested in your input.
