More than 25 National Grid executives and employees assisted Tifft Nature Preserve ecological technicians and staff employees in the planting of more than 115 new trees at Tifft Nature Preserve in efforts to replace invasive trees with ecologically friendly species. The day of tree planting is just one example of the commitment National Grid has in Western New York to be an environmentally responsible and good corporate citizen.

National Grid’s tree planting volunteerism was in conjunction with Tifft Nature Preserve’s tree regeneration project which is being funded by a $300,000 grant from the Greenway Ecological Standing Committee (GESC).  The Committee is affiliated with the Niagara River Greenways Fund, established by the New York Power Authority as part of the re-licensing of the Niagara Power Project.

CLARENCE, NY – Remember the reports we received late last year about a herd of white deer living in the neighborhood? Well, another 2 Your Town viewer has been visited by these rare and beautiful creatures.

David Holt snapped the photos you see here of a white deer buck that his family has seen in the yard multiple times.

If you get a picture of something extraordinary in your community and you’d like to share it with your neighbors on line, and maybe even on the air, send them to 2 Your Town.
