Watershed Native Tree Program

Financial and technical support is available for landowners enabling them to be good stewards of their property. Discover the opportunities offered by the Watershed Agricultural Council in its Management Assistance and Trees for Tribs programs for tree planting, streamside improvement, invasive plant control, habitat creation with native plants, and more.

These programs will be presented by Jessica Alba, the Watershed Forest Stewardship Educator. Jessica works with forest landowners to help them understand, enjoy, and steward their woods through a variety of on the ground projects like invasive species removal and native tree plantings. She also helps run educational programming with students from New York City and the NYC Watersheds to teach them about how forests protect water resources for drinking and recreation.

The Watershed Agricultural Council is a not-for-profit organization that works to keep the New York City water supply clean by helping farmers and forest landowners in the NYC Watershed reduce pollution on their land.

The Katonah Village Library is happy to host this presentation of the Watershed Agricultural Council with the collaboration of Bedford2030.

Participants will enter a drawing to win copies of Doug Tallamy's signed books: Nature's Best Hope and The Nature of Oaks (courtesy of Susanne and Douglas Durst).
