THE CROTON ARBORETUM & COMMUNITY SERVICE DAY FOR CHHS 10TH GRADERS

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. 

Sunday, April 17 was Community Service Day for CHHS’ 10th graders. Participating students choose from a menu of service projects in line with their talents and academic interests. 

Volunteers at the Jane Lytle Arboretum chose to build on work previously done by former CHHS student Ben Schmidt. Ben’s Eagle Scout project was creation of a bird-watching area near the Arboretum’s central wetland. Over the years, saplings invaded the area, making it unusable to bird watchers. The students cleared away a small forest of saplings, re-opening the area for public use and enjoyment. Volunteers included project organizer Skyler Holzman, Hayden Barbeau, Leo Rinaldi, Hanna Smith and Nicholas Stagliano.  The Arboretum’s directors and members are grateful for their energy and dedication.
