Village of Red Hook ~ Town of Red Hook Greenway and Trails Committee Monthly Report ‘ 1 September 2024 The town has been certified as a Sustainable Community by Audubon International in which the trails is a large component of that (as well as the little art boxes around). The extension of Saw Kill trail is almost done which includes 400+ ft of bog bridging, a split rail fence entrance which connects Look out Loop and the outlet to Aspinwall Road. They worked the last week of September with many volunteers and Winnakee Land Trust on building the small footbridge. Also the Cookingham Farm trails are almost ready – although not open yet the trail signs are in and last I checked were waiting for installment along the trail. I have yet to walk the trails myself but the committee will is planning to do so in an official capacity prior to their official opening to the public. If you are in around the trail, please respect the closed signs. Village of Red Hook i Climate Smart Communities Monthly Report ’ ' September 2024 The taskforce should hear back soon from CCE about the assessment we undertook. But during the month of September, we officially joined forced with the Town and are members of ICLEI and will work with them to get our Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory done (hopefully the baseline and an update). As part of our membership with ICLEI we will have access to their library of resources and their GHG Emissions inventory Tool which will make this process much smoother. Additionally at the beginning of the month, we were involved with helping the quarterly Repair Café and are working to create a full cycle of item headed to the landfill and instead work on dismantling with tools in order to destruct it and then send it to local artists to become reinvented. If you are interested in having a small item, which has been deconstructed for an art project, please reach out and we can coordinate the process. Past items that have been deconstructed are: Vacuum cleaner, Rotary telephone, computer tower, DVD player etc. all items were headed to the landfill and instead played a crucial part in the repair café.
