Town of Mamaroneck

Mamaroneck, NY

Jaine Elkind Eney

Town Supervisor

Pledge Summary

The Town of Mamaroneck has a population of roughly 29,000 and includes the entire Village of Larchmont, the part of the Village of Mamaroneck west of the Mamaroneck River and the Unincorporated Area, which is not part of either Village. We are only about 40 minutes from Manhattan, yet are part of the beautiful Lower Hudson Valley and maintain several conservation areas and parks throughout the Town. We also boast proximity to the Long Island Sound and easy access to highways, airports and commuter train service. Town Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney, along with the Town's environmental committee (the Sustainability Collaborative), has committed to saving the monarch butterfly and other pollinators by signing the Mayors' Monarch Pledge. We look forward to engaging residents in building more pollinator habitat throughout the Town.

Community Spotlight

Action Items Committed for 2025

Communications and Convening

  • Launch or maintain a public communication effort to encourage residents to plant monarch gardens at their homes or in their neighborhoods. (If you have community members who speak a language other than English, we encourage you to also communicate in that language; Champion Pledges must communicate in that language.)

Program and Demonstration Gardens

  • Host or support a native seed or plant sale, giveaway or swap.
  • Plant or maintain a monarch and pollinator-friendly demonstration garden at City Hall or another prominent or culturally significant community location.
  • Plant milkweed and pollinator-friendly native nectar plants along roadsides, medians, or public rights-of-way.
  • Launch, expand, or continue an invasive species removal program that will support the re-establishment of native habitat for monarch butterflies and other pollinators.

Systems Change

  • Reduce or eliminate the use of herbicides, pesticides, or other chemicals that are harmful to monarchs and pollinators and urban wildlife.
