Issues: Indigenous Peoples Environment

"North Country tree lovers get out your shovels and get ready to dig in because nearly $600,000 in federal funding is on the way to plant 2,500 new trees across the Saint Regis Mohawk territory to seed a brighter future for all. Restoring green spaces not only improves quality of life and air quality, it decreases temperatures, reduces health disparities and so much more. It is how you grow a greener environment and healthier future for families across the North Country. I fought hard to plant this funding in the Inflation Reduction Act so that more of our communities could have access to the funding for critical improvement projects. Now, a greener, healthier North Country can take root with thousands of new trees, and we can all watch it blossom together."
