Glen Cove came together on May 3 to celebrate Earth Day and Arbor Day. The day began at 9 a.m. at Danis Park, located at the corner of Town Path and Glen Street. The annual event is also held in memory of Bill Byrne, a longtime Glen Cove resident known for his dedication to community beautification and volunteerism who died in 2021. Organized by the Beautification Commission, the event promoted civic pride and environmental stewardship. High school students earned community service hours, and participants of all ages helped keep Glen Cove beautiful.
