@scenichudson joined @LTAlliance & advocates from across the US for their Advocacy Days in Washington D.C. this week. 🇺🇸 We’ve talked to NY legislators like @RepPaulTonko & expressed our support for the NY-NJ Watershed Protection Act, Farm Bill, PCB cleanup in the Hudson, & more!

[Scenic Hudson @scenichudson]

PROTECTING HABITAT: #ScenicHudson is proud to support the new Wildlife Movement Through Partnerships Act, sponsored by @SenAlexPadilla, @RepDonBeyer & Rep Zinke. This bill boosts efforts to ⬆️ #connectivity, supporting wildlife movement & migration. https://t.co/aiAl3xQzzd

[Carli Fraccarolli @CarliFrac]

Why will the🦝cross the road? Because @Bobby4Brooklyn & @LeroyComrie helped pass legislation through the NYS Assembly & Senate that will require DOT to assess roads in NYS for potential #wildlifecrossings to⬆️habitat #connectivity &⬇️wildlife vehicle collisions! TY bill sponsors!

[Alisha DeenSteindler @deen_steindler]

Thank you @Bobby4Brooklyn and @LeroyComrie for helping little guys like this get to the other side of the road safely!!

The Wildlife Crossings Bill has just passed the NYS Assembly!!! What a win for Habitat Connectivity and Biodiversity!!

[Carli Fraccarolli @CarliFrac]

The NY Wildlife Crossing Act just passed the @NYSenate! 🦌 TY Sen. @LeroyComrie for sponsoring the bill & demonstrating your commitment to protecting our wildlife! Now we look forward to the swift passage of this crucial bill in the Assembly where @Bobby4Brooklyn is its champion.

[Carli Fraccarolli @CarliFrac]

I spent the day on Tuesday advocating for the Wildlife Crossings bill with these passionate colleagues. Grateful to @LeroyComrie and @Bobby4Brooklyn for sponsoring this important legislation that will direct the DOT to identify potential wildlife crossing sites over NYS roads!

It’s been a busy week lots of folks advocating for parks-clean water- from Adirondack Day to Peconic Estuary folks - ⁦@PlasticsBeyond⁩ - ⁦@scenichudson⁩ Hudson River Day- thanks to all

[Carli Fraccarolli @CarliFrac]

We had a wonderful #HudsonRiver Advocacy Day today! Thanks to @riverkeeper for co-organizing this event, & a big TY to all the advocates who came out to speak for our cause! @SenatorHarckham & @DeborahJGlick are fantastic champions of the River & we truly appreciate their support

[Scenic Hudson @scenichudson]

DEFENDING THE HUDSON: The #HudsonRiver is a source of drinking 💧, recreation, inspiration & wildlife habitat. But it has suffered from a history of contamination & we still can't eat its 🐟. We're in #AlbanyNY telling legislators how important our river is to us! #HealTheHudson

[Jeremy Cherson @jeremycherson1]

Thank you @DeborahJGlick for your passionate opening remarks for Hudson River Advocacy. We appreciate your partnership and advocacy for the river and NY! @riverkeeper @scenichudson

[Scenic Hudson @scenichudson]

WE 💚 PARKS: They = space for refuge, recreation, gathering, & climate resiliency. Protecting & creating parks is linked to the health & wellbeing of NY residents. Today, we're asking NY legislators for $250M for state parks & $26m for municipal parks. #DefendTheValley

[Carli Fraccarolli @CarliFrac]

83 MILLION people visited #NYStateParks last year. This year, I’ve traveled to Albany with almost 140 other advocates from around the state for #NYPAD2024. We’re asking legislators to include $250m in capital funding for NYS parks in the NYS budget to ensure continued benefits!

[Carli Fraccarolli @CarliFrac]

We ❤️ our farms and our supportive legislators! Thank you @AMCarrieWoerner @DonnaLupardo @SenatorHinchey & @RachelMayNY for #SpeakingUpForNYFarms & supporting $25m for Farmland Protection in the NYS budget. Conserved farmland ➡️ clean water, fresh local food, & economic benefits!

[Carli Fraccarolli @CarliFrac]

Advocates from across NYS have descended upon the Legislative Office Building in Albany today to talk to legislators about the #NYEnviroFund! Thank you @SenatorHarckham and @DeborahJGlick for your support of our call for a restoration of the EPF to $400m with no $25m offload.

[Scenic Hudson @scenichudson]

PROTECTING (Y)OUR HEALTH: The #NYEnviroFund (EPF) is the #1 source of $ for enviro projects. We’re in Albany rallying for this fund to continue protecting our waters, farms & parks. Tell your reps that NY needs a $400M EPF with no offload for agency staff costs. #DefendTheValley

[Carli Fraccarolli @CarliFrac]

“This is an environmental issue. This is an economic issue. This is a social justice issue. This is a public health issue.” Thank you @SenatorHarckham for highlighting the importance of clean water, and the significant need for at least $600m in clean water funding in the budget.

[Scenic Hudson @scenichudson]

CLEAN DRINKING WATER—TODAY!
We're in Albany today advocating for funding to replace lead pipes, treat drinking💧 for contaminants, & protect the sources of our drinking💧
Urge your reps and @GovKathyHochul to include at least $600m for #CleanWater in the final '24-25 state budget

[Scenic Hudson @scenichudson]

FUNDING SOLUTIONS: @GovKathyHochul's proposed budget prioritizes the well-being of all NYers & boosts the Parks Capital Fund, but reduces historic funding for enviro programs. We hope the final budget fully funds the #NYEnviroFund & clean💧infrastructure.

[Carli Fraccarolli @CarliFrac]

TY @GovKathyHochul for⬆️investments in state parks in your proposed budget! We hope to see the restoration of the #NYEnviroFund to $400m (with no reduction for agency staffing expenses) & $500m for clean water infrastructure ANNUALLY in the final budget. https://t.co/knDeO8KZ0a

[Carli Fraccarolli @CarliFrac]

So excited that @GovKathyHochul signed @DidiBarrett106 and @MichelleHinchey's SITED Act into law! Looking forward to working on the implementation of this nation-leading legislation.🌞

[Scenic Hudson @scenichudson]

SUNNY DAYS: Thank you @GovKathyHochul @DidiBarrett106 & @MichelleHinchey for the SITED Act! Communities across NYS now have access to tools & info for renewable energy siting. These are #ClimateSolutions. >>> https://t.co/GbdAMWHHwD #DefendTheValley

[Carli Fraccarolli @CarliFrac]

Excited that this bill is on the Gov's desk! Thank you @SenatorHinchey & @DidiBarrett106 for sponsoring the SITED Act, which would equip local govts with the resources they need to better understand the opportunities & impacts of renewable energy siting within their communities.

[Scenic Hudson @scenichudson]

CLIMATE SOLUTIONS: Thank @GovKathyHochul for her leadership in the fight against #climatechange & urge her to sign the SITED Act to strengthen community engagement on vital projects like solar arrays, wind turbines & more: https://t.co/8P9SF6pvt6 #HowToSolarNow #DefendTheValley
