COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Teatown feels it is important to teach the community about the biodiversity of our region, the Hudson Hills and Highlands. One way we do so is by attending fairs and festivals each year to show the public we are part of the community and to position ourselves as a resource for the region. In the past, Teatown has participated in the following community events:
-
Clearwater Festival in June
-
Town of Yorktown Community Day in May
-
Van Cortlandt Manor River Day in August
Come see us!
