Pollinator support update from Catskill Chamber of Commerce

The Central Catskills Chamber of Commerce continues to share member and area information on its websites and social media as it comes into our office. Keep In touch. Email us details of hours and services, post on your Facebook and Twitter feeds and we will share. carol@centralcatskills.com or call: 845-586-3300. We are working from home and keeping our distance. But we remain connected.

You can post openings and specific offerings on the www.centralcatskills.com  Calendar of Events. We are using this location to add details on the canceled summer and fall events. The calendar is providing updates on online options such as ZOOM workshops and exercise groups from the Pine Hill Community Center and the Catskill Recreation Center that have been physically closed.

As administrator for the Catskill Mountains Scenic Byway we are coordinating a Pollinator Seed distribution to byway communities that will include small garden signs to be installed at locations of gardens or byway meadows where seed has been dispersed. Communities will determine best locations.  Call: 845-586-3300 for additional information.
