Thanks to the generous support of our host and sponsor, Linde, the third annual Environmental Ambassador Summit brought together seven local high school teams, five environmental organizations, and ten businesses and universities. Students began by rotating through stations led by organizations such as WNY Land Conservancy, NYS DEC, NY State Parks, NY Sea Grant, and the US Army Corps of Engineers, where they learned about conservation efforts and career opportunities. The keynote speaker, Maris Grundy, Executive Director of Silo City, inspired attendees by sharing her journey in ecological restoration. In the afternoon, students presented their proposed environmental projects through poster sessions and had the opportunity to network with organizations like the Erie County Department of Environment and Planning, Canisius University, Daemen University, and more. Congratulations to Niagara Falls High School for winning first place with their Hyde Park Native Planting Project, followed by Niagara Wheatfield High School in second place for their Tree of Heaven Removal and Spotted Lanternfly Prevention Project, and Riverside High School in third place with their Senior Legacy Winter Greenhouse Project.
