Celebrate Earth Week in Putnam Valley
A Week of Community Events, Learning, and Environmental Stewardship
The Town of Putnam Valley invites residents and families to celebrate Earth Week with a series of community events focused on sustainability, conservation, and outdoor exploration. Organized with support from the Putnam Valley Commission for the Conservation of the Environment and Putnam Valley Climate Smart Communities, this weeklong celebration offers opportunities for residents of all ages to learn about environmental stewardship while enjoying the natural beauty of our town.
Events throughout the week include hikes, educational workshops, environmental discussions, recycling education, family activities, and community cleanups. Many programs are free and open to the public, though some require advance registration.
Residents are encouraged to follow the Putnam Valley Commission for the Conservation of the Environment and PV Climate Smart Communities on Facebook and Instagram at @cceofpv, or email cceofpv@gmail.com for additional information and updates.
