SUMMARY:Buffalo Arts Studio Oct. 25 Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Arts Studio\, in partnership with area environmental activist organizations\, will present the panel discussion\, “New Polluters” featuring artists\, academics\, and grassroots activists discussing the environmental impact of cloud computing and crypto- mining on our community. \nThe panel discussion is Oct. 25 from 5 to 8 p.m. It will be at Buffalo Arts Studio Tri-Main Center. \nThe panel will include exhibiting artists Joan Linder and Stephanie Rothenberg as well as North Tonawanda residents who successfully won a two-year moratorium on new operations or the expansion of existing “data center.” Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper’s Elizabeth Cute will also be one of the people on the panel. \nThe “data center” moratorium can include: “facilities housing multiple banks of computers within a building\, modular facilities containing processors in multiple storage-like containers\, server clusters and other operations related to cryptocurrency mining\, blockchain authenticating\, Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) processing\, general data computing\, processing and storage\, and other large-scale electronic-based centers of the like.” \nThis is all part of the Waterfront View series by Buffalo Arts Studio to feature exhibitions\, workshops\, and panel conversations that examine how late-stage capitalism has shifted the view of water and waterways from a resource of collective benefit to a commodity of individual interest and shareholder profit. Waterfront View supports the creation of new work that critically addresses contemporary issues surrounding economic and environmental justice and reflects the belief that artists and curators can effect change through collaborations that balance community need with artistic insight. All programs are curated with the intent to spur dialogue between varied audiences while working toward social\, economic\, and environmental justice.

SUMMARY:Jayne Park Tree & Shrub Planting
DESCRIPTION:Waterkeeper needs your help revitalizing a riparian area along the Niagara River in Jayne Park on Cayuga Island. Our goal is to transform a large area of mowed lawn into a riparian habitat by creating a no-mow zone and installing nearly 200 native trees and shrubs along the shoreline. \nTrees and shrubs are critical components of a healthy shoreline ecosystem. They provide essential habitat\, resist erosion\, and improve water quality. All these ecological services are incredibly important for the health of the Niagara River and the surrounding community. \nVolunteers are asked to bring their own water bottles and site-appropriate boots for outdoor work. Waterkeeper will have all the tools needed for planting. \nClick below to register and for more information. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Buffalo River Stewardship Event
DESCRIPTION:Join Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper for a fall stewardship event along the Buffalo River\, close to Red Jacket Natural Habitat Park. This is Saturday\, Nov. 16 from 10 a.m. to noon. \nRegister Here\nThere are several needs for this volunteer effort. These include: \n\nRaking and woody debris clearing\nSeeding and strawing\nLitter Pick-up\n\nThe Buffalo River restoration effort includes treatment of the invasive plant knotweed that does not provide food for local wildlife. To replace the knotweed that was treated and is not covering the ground with dead leaves and stems\, we need volunteers to expose the soil so we can then place native seed mix on those bare patches. This task will consist of raking knotweed stems and leaves in densely covered areas and removing trash in dense areas. \nLearn more and sign up at the link below. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:International Day of Zero Waste 2025
DESCRIPTION:The International Day of Zero Waste\, facilitated jointly by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat)\, highlights the importance of bolstering waste management globally and the need to promote sustainable consumption and production patterns to address the waste pollution crisis. \n\nEvery year\, humanity generates between 2.1 billion and 2.3 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste. Without urgent action\, the annual waste generation will hit 3.8 billion tonnes by 2050. \nLearn More Here\n\n\nWaste pollution threatens human health\, costs the global economy hundreds of billions of dollars every year\, and aggravates the triple planetary crisis: the crisis of climate change\, the crisis of nature\, land and biodiversity loss\, and the crisis of pollution and waste. \n\n\nThis year’s theme\, Towards zero waste in fashion and textiles\, focuses on the urgent need to take action to reduce the waste impact from the fashion and textile sector and promote sustainability and circularity. \nBuffalo Niagara Waterkeeper continues to promote cleanup efforts around Western New York and the Great Lakes basin. You can join our Spring Sweep 2025 to be a part of the solution. \nClick Here For Our Spring Sweep

SUMMARY:Great Lakes Literacy’s 2025 Great Lakes BioBlitz
DESCRIPTION:Students\, families\, and colleagues are invited to celebrate Earth Day with the Center for Great Lakes Literacy’s annual Great Lakes BioBlitz. \nThis free event is an opportunity to engage youth and the public in community science\, collect data to support biodiversity research and conservation\, and learn more about the organisms in the Great Lakes Basin. Anyone in a U.S. State or Canadian province that has land within the Great Lakes region is welcome to participate. \nWhat is the Great Lakes BioBlitz?\nA BioBlitz is an event to observe\, identify\, and record as many different\, non-domesticated species as possible along the Great Lakes coastline during a specified period of time. \nWhen is the Great Lakes BioBlitz?\nThe BioBlitz begins on Earth Day\, April 22 and it runs for 4 weeks\, ending on May 19. \nHow do I participate in the Great Lakes BioBlitz?\nThe beauty of this project is that you decide your level of participation. Take an afternoon to explore and document some plants or wildlife in an area\, or pick a location to return to weekly\, or set a goal to find something new every day – there are many ways to participate. \nIf you take multiple images of the same individual organism\, at the same time\, in the same place\, please post the images as a group (a single observation within iNaturalist).   \nIf you take multiple images of the same organism at different times or places\, please post the images as different observations within iNaturalist. \nIn other words\, an observation should include date\, time\, location\, and organism identity (to the best of your ability). \nYou may participate as an individual\, a family\, a class\, or other group.  \n\nVisit iNaturalist or download the app onto your phone and create an account.\nVisit and become a member of the 2025 Great Lakes BioBlitz project\nGet outside\, get out your cameras\, and start making and posting observations! As you are able\, verify other participants’ Great Lakes BioBlitz Project postings.\n\nWant to learn more about the Great Lake BioBlitz?\nVisit the Great Lakes BioBlitz Educator Site for more information about the project and educator resources for engaging youth in this wonderful learning experience! \nWhy participate?\nThere are many benefits of becoming a BioBlitz wizard\, here are just a few: \n\nEngage in an outdoor activity\, discover the wild living things in the world around you\, form and strengthen a place-based connection\nJoin a global community of observers\, learners\, and scientists passionate about biodiversity and the Great Lakes\nContribute to a global database of organisms. Observations made on iNaturalists contribute to research\, conservation\, and educational outreach programs.\n\n  \nLearn More
