Again,the Gannett News service doing it’s "daily" disservice. What's happening in Greenburgh is in spite of Greenburgh and due to other entities. And the Greenburgh Nature Center is not Greenburgh’s!

Elmsford, Tarrytown, Ivington, Ardsley, Hartsdale, Dobbs, Hastings........ALL Town of Greenburgh. Are you referring to the Unincorporated Town of Greenburgh? Even if you are, which I see no reason to distinguish for the purpose of this online news outlet, The Greenburgh Nature Center resides in the Unincorporated Greenburgh area. Unincorporated Greenburgh consists of addresses in Edgemont (Greenville/Scarsdale PO) Hartsdale, Fairview AND parts of White Plains, several streets with Ardsley, Elmsford, Tarrytown.....to name a few. While I understand that it gets confusing, either way, all are part of Greenburgh.
