From May through October, come explore inspiring local gardens every Sunday afternoon—rain or shine. Each week, homeowners open their yards to show how they've transformed their landscapes to better support birds, butterflies, bees, and other wildlife.

Whether it's replacing lawn with a meadow, planting a pollinator garden, restoring a woodland, or simply adding a small patch of native plants, every garden offers practical ideas you can bring home to your own yard.

Hosted by Healthy Yards. Bring a friend, a neighbor, or the whole family—kids are welcome! (Please leave dogs at home.) No RSVP is needed.

THIS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH, 1-4 PM

"Lawns to Meadow"
47 East Lake Drive, Katonah

An extensive lawn-to-meadow conversion on a large part of this 9-acre property. Many young saplings have been planted, and a series of swales to manage water flow have been installed.

"Back Country Modern Habitat"
37 Day Road, Greenwich

A modern property exquisitely designed with the idea of creating a "homegrown national park". Five acres of varied habitats, from woodland to full sun.

What does climate change have to do with your health? More than you might think!

Join us on October 1 at the Bedford Playhouse, where 7x Emmy-winning journalist and CBS Sunday Morning correspondent David Pogue will sit down with local experts to explore the surprising connections between climate change and human health.

This will be a lively, fascinating conversation, bookended by an evening of mingling, refreshments, and an exclusive look at our silent auction (and trust us, the items are pretty awesome).

PLUS, every guest goes home with a tote bag designed by a local artist (and top-secret goodies inside).

Too good to miss. Get your tickets before they sell out! 🎟️

We're hiring a Programs Manager! And if you're looking for a job that suits you, this might be the one!

We need an organizer who finds genuine peace in a well-managed spreadsheet, a people person who can make friends with just about anyone, a climate nerd who loves to research, and a communicator who can make complicated things make sense (like a Climate-y John Green).

Someone who can help turn climate action from a big, sometimes overwhelming idea into something a person can actually participate in—whether that’s an energy coaching session, a community workshop, the Greenlight Award®, or helping the town measure its energy use.

If you're looking at these cards thinking, wait... I am literally all five of these people ...well, this might be your winning hand. 👀

Got a royal flush? Apply today to join us as the full-time Programs Manager for our small, ambitious climate organization in Katonah, NY.

And please: bring your personality. Your cover letter is not the place to simply retype your resume.

Can't wait to hear from you!

We're hiring a Communications Manager! And we're looking for a very specific kind of person.

We need a disciplined creative generalist, a pop-culture-fluent storyteller, an enthusiastic climate nerd, a capable organizer, and a genuinely good human to be our Communications Director's right hand.

Someone who can write like a dream, make things, get in front of a camera, spot a good story, understand why something will make people stop scrolling, and remember that the website needs updating.

Someone who can move from a TikTok to an Earth Day Festival to a newsletter to an Asana board without losing the plot.

And someone who gets the reference! (Did you get 7/7? 🧐)

If you look at these cards and think, "Wait...is this THE JOB for me?" ...maybe. 🔮

We’re equal parts thrilled and saddened to announce that our Communications Manager, Grace Gilmore, is off on a new adventure at the University of Edinburgh Business School next week.

Over the past two years, Grace has been an essential part of our team, and we’ll miss her enormously. But we couldn’t be more excited to see what’s next for her. Her graduate studies in Global Strategy and Sustainability will take her deeper into the work she is so passionate about, and we know she’ll make an impact wherever she goes.

We knew Grace was awesome when she joined us as a summer intern. We knew she was a keeper when she rode in on her horse with a (compostable) pumpkin over her head.
Thank you, Grace, for your creativity, camaraderie, and commitment to climate. We’re so grateful we got to work with you, and we’ll be cheering you on from here!

Plot twist: Summer book club has gone fiction. During Climate Week in September, we’re gathering at the Katonah Reading Room to discuss How to Fall in Love in a Time of Unnameable Disaster by Muriel Leung.

The premise? Acid rains have transformed NYC into a toxic wasteland, cutting citizens off from one another. In one apartment building, an unlikely family of humans, ghosts, and a cockroach must learn to redefine what it means to live and love at the end of the world.

We think this will be a great opener to an existentially quirky conversation about what community means and how we can prevent things like acid rain (and extreme heat, wildfires, and unprecedented storms) from killing the vibe (and climate).

September 27th, 10:30 AM, Katonah Reading Room.

Pop into Katonah Reading Room , email [email protected] for local pickup, or head to Bookshop.org and select Katonah Reading Room as your bookshop to get your copy in the mail (and benefit your local indie bookstore).

From May through October, explore inspiring local gardens every Sunday afternoon—rain or shine. Each week, homeowners open their yards to show how they've transformed their landscapes to better support birds, butterflies, bees, and other wildlife. 🐦‍⬛🦋🐝

Whether it's replacing lawn with a meadow, planting a pollinator garden, restoring a woodland, or simply adding a small patch of native plants, every garden offers practical ideas you can bring home to your own yard.

Hosted by Healthy Yards Bring a friend, a neighbor, or the whole family—kids are welcome! (Please leave dogs at home.) No RSVP is needed.

This week's open gardens:

🏡 “Works in Progress”
104 Ridgefield Ave, South Salem
Both the front and back yards are works in progress, as invasives are replaced with native and pollinator-friendly shrubs, flowers and grasses. The creative challenge of designing for the changing seasons keeps things interesting. The backyard, which started as an overgrown, rocky slope, thin grass lawn and a pool, has turned into a pool-less canvas for native plants, colorful perennials, herbs, shrubs and sedges.

🏡 “Lakeside Sanctuary”
15 South Shore Drive, South Salem
A tiny cottage with tiny gardens and lots of natives. The gardens are everywhere: in the front, in the back, on the deck, on the dock, along the water’s edge, and in a fire pit.
Please follow parking signs and be respectful of the neighbors.
