Hudson Crossing Park seeks award candidates

SCHUYLERVILLE, N.Y. (NEWS10) - Hudson Crossing Park runs education and community programs for Schuylerville and the surrounding communities from a green outdoor learning space. On Friday, the park opened submissions for applicants to an award acknowledging students who have proven their own respect for the environment around them.

The park is looking for applications for the 2023 Hudson Crossing Park Seedling Award. The award is given to a student who has shown excellence and dedication to their environment and community.

To apply, students are asked to submit an essay of around 1,000 words, or a 3-5 minute video, demonstrating how they have used leadership and other skills to serve their environment and/or community.
