As part of our Arbor Day celebration, the Town offers a free tree seedling to all Clifton Park families who have had a baby born between Arbor Day 2024 (April 26) and Arbor Day 2025 (April 25). Families can register with the Office of Parks and Recreation, located in Town Hall. Submit a baby photo with the registration form to be displayed in Town Hall during the spring. Deadline for registration is April 13, 2025. The week after Arbor Day, parents can come to Town Hall and pick up a free seedling tree to be planted on their property as a “birth tree” for the child. The hope is that these trees will grow up with the child and add to the child’s appreciation of nature and the conservation of wildlife.

Applications are available at Town Hall or online here

A Repair Café is a free community event with the goals of repairing broken objects to extend their life, keeping things out of landfills, and fostering an appreciation for the art of repairing things. Volunteer repair coaches will be available to help residents repair broken items free of charge. Bring your broken small electronics such as lamps, toasters, vacuums, coffee makers, wood items such as furniture and toys, mechanical non-electric items, clothing and textiles, and computers with problems, and bikes needing a tune-up. Our repair coaches will have you stay, watch, and learn how to fix your treasures and possessions.
