Path to a sustainable future

TAKE ACTION TODAY FOR A SUSTAINABLE TOMORROW

Green Landscape Champion (GLC) is a new Tarrytown Environmental Advisory Council initiative for local organizations that promotes sustainable landscaping practices that will restore biodiversity, sequester carbon, and beautify our Villages. We have seen an alarming decline in pollinators and birds as climate change, pesticide use, and development alter our local ecosystems. The good news is that we all have the power to turn this crisis around with a few simple actions.

  • LEAD BY EXAMPLE

    You, our community leaders, are in a unique position to serve as influencers for good environmental stewardship

  • SIMPLE. VISIBLE. COST-EFFECTIVE.

Green BUSINESS IS GOOD business

Complimentary consultations - TEAC can help you get started. No project is too big or too small. No lawn space? No problem. Planting pollinator planters can have a big impact. The time to act is now.

Plant Native

Native plants sustain pollinators and birds at every stage of their lives. Did you know caterpillars can only eat the leaves of specific host plants? For example, Monarch caterpillars can only eat milkweed! Native plants also contribute to healthy soil and water quality. They require less water, less toxins, and will save you money.

Avoid pesticides

Pesticides, including herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides harm beneficial insects and our health. By refraining from using synthetic pesticides on your lawn and garden you can protect pollinators and your family.

Year-Round Habitat

Leave fallen leaves, plant stalks and branches in the peripheral areas of your yard and garden. Pollinators shelter here in winter and birds forage here for food. Baby birds can only eat caterpillars that often live in fallen leaves.
