New Lebanon’s Earth Day clean-up on Saturday morning, April 23, was a great success. About 20 participants gathered at Shatford Park pavilion, divided into teams of four and fanned out to locations along Route 20, Old Post Road and Cemetery Road for an hour of trash collection. The New Lebanon event was organized by the New Lebanon Climate Smart Communities Task Force. Climate Smart Communities (CSC) is a state-wide program that encourages communities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve climate resilience. New Lebanon joined in April 2020 and was the fastest to receive its Bronze Certification in the history of the 13-year-old program.
