CROTON-ON-HUDSON—A handful of volunteers with the Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation joined a few others from the Westchester Parks Foundation recently for a clean-up afternoon at Croton Gorge Park in Croton-on-Hudson. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate, but the group of 15 continued to work through the rain and wind to clear almost 280 pounds of trash and remove more than 150 square feet of invasive plants.
HGRF volunteer Matt McAllister, of Corcoran Baer & McIntosh, in Nyack coordinated the Realtor volunteer efforts. The HGRF Program Committee, chaired by HGAR’s immediate past president Gail Fattizzi, is planning more volunteer events for the year, both indoor and outdoor.
The next event is set for April 22 at the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley in Cornwall. The indoor event will be limited to 15 people, with social distancing and mask-wearing requirements. There are a few spots still open for this event. For more information or to sign up for this event, please contact Mary Prenon, HGAR Director of Communications at: mary.prenon@hgar.com.
