VILLAGE OF DOBBS FERRY

DOBBS FERRY, NY

Vincent Rossillo

Mayor

Pledge Summary

Dobbs Ferry is a village that lies just about 20 miles north of New York City. This riverfront village has a population of 11,000 within its 2.5 square miles of land. With its sloping geography, there is a traditional downtown, as well as generous open spaces. The Village is home to the 76 acre Juhring Nature Preserve, the beautiful Waterfront Park along the Hudson River, as well as two other parks with playgrounds- all of which are enjoyed by many. Mayor Rossillo of Dobbs Ferry NY is excited to transition our Village to a pollinator pathway and is committed to facilitating community actions that support Monarch conservation. With the signing of the Mayors' Monarch Pledge he looks forward to engaging our community in creating vital habitats to sustain pollinators especially Monarchs.
