Started in 2009, the Green Team/Climate Smart Task Force is a committee formed of representatives from various Town of Cortlandt departments and the community that meet quarterly to support the development and implementation of climate action strategies in support of the Town’s Climate Smart initiatives.

Our annual sponsored events include:

  3. Earth Day Hike
  4. Community Clean-up
  5. Arbor Day Planting/Tree City
  6. Westchester County Shredder
