Bank of NY-Mellon volunteers braved the elements to plant trees with the CNY Conservancy in FT Proctor Park today. They looove Utica parks!

Where in the world is Miss Liberty? She's on her way for some major restoration! She'll be back in time for the Boilermaker in July.

Celebrating Arbor Day by planting a tree with the Central New York Conservancy. I'd like to thank CNYC's Peter Falzarine, Virgina Kelly, Mike Mahanna & our own Dave Short for coordinating today's events and for all that they do to better our City's Parks.
