Rotary shares an interest in protecting our common legacy: the environment
We are committed to supporting activities that strengthen the conservation and protection of natural resources, advance ecological sustainability, and foster harmony between communities and the environment. We empower communities to access grants and other resources, embrace local solutions, and spur innovation in an effort to address the causes and reduce the effects of climate change and environmental degradation.
Rotary members are tackling environmental issues the way they always do: coming up with projects, using their connections to change policy and planning for the future.
In Plattsburgh, the Sunrise Rotary Club and the Noon Rotary Club are collaborating with the Town of Plattsburgh to help create a pollinator garden at a former park in the Wallace Hill District. Along with the Soil and Water Conservation District, Bee The Change of Vermont and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Clinton County, the pollinator garden, when completed, will be almost two acres in size and will serve as an outdoor education locale.
