🛎️👟🚴🏾‍♀️2026 PTAC PEDESTRIAN & TRAFFIC SAFETY SURVEY!
As a town of neighborhood schools with no bussing, PTA Council is committed to ensuring that families and children can travel to/from schools and across our community safely - especially in light of recent incidents. Your input will help us identify patterns and common challenges across our Villages and Town, and shape our committee’s work. The information gathered from our 2023 survey helped prioritize and amplify efforts that led to meaningful pedestrian and traffic safety improvements across both Villages. But the work doesn't stop there! Feel free to share the survey widely, and thank you! https://forms.gle/25oBznvu3BUQTZQx8

🦋Today is the International Day for Biological Diversity — a reminder that protecting biodiversity starts right here at home.

One small but meaningful example is the Village of Pelham NY’s new Butterfly Garden at Woodland Park, created through a partnership with the Junior League of Pelham and with the collaboration of the VoP Sustainability Advisory Board / Climate Smart Communities Task Force, Ecopel, local Scouts, and community volunteers.

By planting native species and removing invasive plants, this garden helps provide critical habitat for butterflies and other pollinators while supporting healthier soil, cleaner waterways, and a more climate-resilient Pelham. 🌱

If you haven’t visited yet, take a walk through Woodland Park and see how small local actions can help build a healthier, more biodiverse community for everyone. 💚
