GreenUtica

Thank you to Stewart's Shops for supporting us as our Park Clean Up Sponsor! Marc Derella, manager of Stewart's Culver Avenue store, presented us with a check to assist with our beautification and park clean up efforts. We appreciate all you do for our community Stewart's!

Thanks to Excellus BlueCross BlueShield for asking GreenUtica to host their 2026 Spring Volunteer Day in Utica's parks. They painted, raked under the playground equipment and cleaned both T.R. Proctor Park and O'Conner Park last week. They made a tremendous impact in just a few hours! A group of approximately 20 people, including Regional President, Tony Vitagliano, made our parks greener! Thanks again!

Having fun hosting The Utica Mom Walk at TR Proctor Park this morning. We walked, talked and now the kids are enjoying the playground.

Today we celebrated Arbor Day with the Utica University Football team and Mayor Galime at Lincoln Playground. Mike Mahanna, our board member, taught the group how to plant the trees. Now the park has 20 new trees as part of Utica’s Urban Tree Revitalization Program. More to come tomorrow!!! Thanks to the UU team and Coach Faggiano!

Thanks to the Utica University Women’s Basketball Team for the work they did in Hirt Playground yesterday. We love that Earth Day has turned into Earth Week! GreenUtica is grateful for the opportunity to host cleanup events with our local colleges and businesses to beautify Utica’s parks!!!
