Town of Hyde Park

Hyde Park, NY

Alfred Torreggiani

Town Supervisor

Pledge Summary

The Town of Hyde Park registered with the NWF's Comunity Wildlife Habitat program on Earth Day 2016 to focus on pollinator and native plant choices, to conserve our wildlife, and to work with our community organizations involved with beautification, community gardening, landscape archaeology, and horticultural education. Taking the Mayor's Monarch Pledge aligns perfectly with our community goals. We have installed pollinator gardens that provide both host and feeder plants for the Monarch butterflies.
