Today marks the official start of our Summer 2023 Session at First Tee-WNY! We hope that all participants and families are as excited as we are for a busy and fun summer! Thank you for joining us for our summer session and we can’t wait to see you all this week!
We were thrilled to welcome the Young Professionals for Olmsted Parks (YPOP) into Council Chambers for a 'Coffee with the Council' event this morning. @bfloparks@niagaracouncil@cmgolombek
Invasive Species Friday! Today's villain: Multiflora Rose. Introduced in 1866 this once popular plant has overstayed its welcome. Its growth speed and density creates impenetrable thickets and chokes out native plants.

HAPPY ARBOR DAY!!
As a park system Arbor Day is a pretty big deal to us! So we asked our resident tree experts one of the hardest questions they'll ever face:
"What's your favorite tree?"

Happy #EarthDay! 🌳🌍
Yesterday, team members volunteered at MLK Jr. Park in Buffalo as part of our annual tradition of working with @bfloparks. The day was spent removing invasive species, uprooting invasive trees and cleaning up trash in the park and surrounding areas.
Happy #EarthDay! While every day is earth day at #BfloParks, today we make extra effort to appreciate and give back to our environment. While also working to raise awareness and provide education on environmental issues. Thank you to all who love our parks year round ❤️🌎🌳
