This summer’s EJ Fellows helped care for shade trees, orchards and pollinator meadows we created through Planting Power Newburgh in partnership with Sustainable Hudson Valley, Rhinebeck Rotary, Hudson Valley Rotary District 7210, and The Rotary Foundation. It’s wonderful to work with new young leaders each year as they learn about our urban environment and the power of citizen action.

This summer, three City of Newburgh departments worked together in a citywide Park Cleanup Blitz—doing litter removal, landscaping, repairs, and maintenance across our neighborhood parks.
From Unico Park to Hasbrouck Street Park, Clinton Square, People’s Park, Tyrone Crabb Memorial Park, and beyond, this work is an important reminder that public spaces are community spaces.
Our parks are where we play, gather, connect, and build community. Taking care of them is part of creating a healthier and greener Newburgh. 🌳
Kudos to the City for taking action, showing up for our parks, and making these precious greenspaces more welcoming to the whole community. 💚

A big thank you to Wireworks Studios! 🫶🏽
As we continue to wrap up the 2026 Environmental Justice Fellowship, we want to take a moment to recognize Sisha Ortuzar and the Wireworks team for generously welcoming us into their space throughout the summer.

Wireworks became a home base for our Fellows, a place where we could gather, learn, share ideas, have meetings, debrief after workshops, and build community together. Having access to a creative and welcoming place made a meaningful difference in our Fellowship experience.

We’re especially grateful for Sisha’s continued commitment to sharing Wireworks with local
non-profits and community members. This beautiful
co-working space creates opportunities for collaboration, connection, and collective work right here in Newburgh. 🌱

Thank you, Sisha, for supporting our 2026 EJ Fellows and for continuing to make space for the community! 💚

Two weeks ago, we wrapped up the 2026 Environmental Justice Fellowship, supported by the Orange County the SYEP Program!
Throughout five weeks, our Fellows explored the many ways we rely on trees and green spaces—from improving our environment to helping save human lives. They also learned how to gather information, tell stories, and use that knowledge to advocate for more trees and accessible green spaces throughout the City of Newburgh.

Working alongside community allies, the Fellows gained hands-on experience through tree stewardship, pollinator meadow maintenance, community building, art-making, and graphic design for environmental advocacy, including creating materials in both English and Spanish to help make information more accessible to our community.

🌱 From learning about the trees around us to finding creative ways to advocate for them, this year’s Fellows reminded us that environmental justice is also about community, access, belonging, and having a voice in the future of our city.

Thank you to all of our community partners, allies, and especially our 2026 Fellows for making this summer so meaningful. 💚
