The City of Hudson’s Conservation Advisory Council (CAC) and Hudson Development Corporation (HDC) received an ecological restoration grant for $32,075 during Partners for Climate Action’s 2023 grant round. The grant writer (and landscape architect) Britt Zuckerman expertly crafted an application for the city’s urban forestry project. Twenty five street trees will be planted throughout the City of Hudson during the yearlong grant timeline.

As quoted in the January press release on Trixie’s List, Zuckerman says “The rich history of the Hudson Valley is one rooted in stewardship of the land. The new trees would be primarily native species, helping to correct years of invasive tree plantings, and the under-plantings will support pollinator health, with new soils supporting microbial health.” Read the full release here: www.trixieslist.com
