Local Scout Receives Grant to Support Pollinators and Bats
Georgia DiRamio, a local scout, is turning her care for the environment into action by creating a pollinator garden and bat habitat. Her work has received support from the Bethlehem Garden Club.
Georgia’s project will help advance the conservation and sustainability mission of Be Eco while inspiring others to take part in caring for local green spaces.
Touring Innovative Farm Models Helps Shape Bethlehem’s Vision
Be ECO and Town staff visited several inspiring farms: Chester Agricultural Center, Hudson Valley Farm Hub, Edible Uprising, and Pitney Meadows Community Farm, to see shared farm infrastructure and community-focused agriculture in action.
These visits highlighted the value of long-term land access, shared resources, and flexible spaces that help farmers thrive and connect with the community. Lessons learned are shaping Bethlehem’s approach to supporting local agriculture and growing stronger ties between farms and our town.
