Excited that this bill is on the Gov's desk! Thank you Senator Michelle Hinchey & Assemblymember Didi Barrett for sponsoring the SITED Act, which would equip local govts with the resources they need to better understand the opportunities & impacts of renewable energy siting within their communities.

So excited that Governor Kathy Hochul signed Assemblymember Didi Barrett and Michelle Hinchey's SITED Act into law! Looking forward to working on the implementation of this nation-leading legislation.🌞

TY Governor Kathy Hochul for⬆️investments in state parks in your proposed budget! We hope to see the restoration of the #NYEnviroFund to $400m (with no reduction for agency staffing expenses) & $500m for clean water infrastructure ANNUALLY in the final budget. tinyurl.com/5n6ctcyt

FUNDING SOLUTIONS: Governor Kathy Hochul's proposed budget prioritizes the well-being of all NYers & boosts the Parks Capital Fund, but reduces historic funding for enviro programs. We hope the final budget fully funds the #NYEnviroFund & clean💧infrastructure. scenichudson.org/news/scenic-hu…

“This is an environmental issue. This is an economic issue. This is a social justice issue. This is a public health issue.” Thank you Senator Pete Harckham for highlighting the importance of clean water, and the significant need for at least $600m in clean water funding in the budget.

Advocates from across NYS have descended upon the Legislative Office Building in Albany today to talk to legislators about the #NYEnviroFund! Thank you Senator Pete Harckham and (((Deborah Glick))) for your support of our call for a restoration of the EPF to $400m with no $25m offload.

We ❤️ our farms and our supportive legislators! Thank you Carrie Woerner Donna Lupardo Senator Michelle Hinchey & Senator Rachel May (RachelMayNY.bsky.social) for #SpeakingUpForNYFarms & supporting $25m for Farmland Protection in the NYS budget. Conserved farmland ➡️ clean water, fresh local food, & economic benefits!

WE 💚 PARKS: They = space for refuge, recreation, gathering, & climate resiliency. Protecting & creating parks is linked to the health & wellbeing of NY residents. Today, we're asking NY legislators for $250M for state parks & $26m for municipal parks. #DefendTheValley

83 MILLION people visited #NYStateParks last year. This year, I’ve traveled to Albany with almost 140 other advocates from around the state for #NYPAD2024. We’re asking legislators to include $250m in capital funding for NYS parks in the NYS budget to ensure continued benefits!

Thank you (((Deborah Glick))) for your passionate opening remarks for Hudson River Advocacy. We appreciate your partnership and advocacy for the river and NY! Riverkeeper Scenic Hudson

I spent the day on Tuesday advocating for the Wildlife Crossings bill with these passionate colleagues. Grateful to Leroy Comrie and Assemblymember Robert Carroll for sponsoring this important legislation that will direct the DOT to identify potential wildlife crossing sites over NYS roads!

The NY Wildlife Crossing Act just passed the New York State Senate! 🦌 TY Sen. Leroy Comrie for sponsoring the bill & demonstrating your commitment to protecting our wildlife! Now we look forward to the swift passage of this crucial bill in the Assembly where Assemblymember Robert Carroll is its champion.

Thank you Assemblymember Robert Carroll and Leroy Comrie for helping little guys like this get to the other side of the road safely!! The Wildlife Crossings Bill has just passed the NYS Assembly!!! What a win for Habitat Connectivity and Biodiversity!!

Why will the🦝cross the road? Because Assemblymember Robert Carroll & Leroy Comrie helped pass legislation through the NYS Assembly & Senate that will require DOT to assess roads in NYS for potential #wildlifecrossings to⬆️habitat #connectivity &⬇️wildlife vehicle collisions! TY bill sponsors!
