THE BUFFALO OLMSTED PARKS CONSERVANCY WILL GET SOME EXTRA EXPOSURE THIS SUMMER THROUGH A NEW CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP. A CUSTOMIZED WRAPPED BUS PROMOTING THE PARKS HAD ITS DEBUT JUNE 15 AT THE JP MORGAN CORPORATE CHALLENGE IN DELAWARE PARK.

THE BUFFALO OLMSTED PARKS CONSERVANCY HAS REINSTALLED THE HOYT LAKE FOUNTAIN.
“Since last year, the Conservancy has worked with a number of special partners to help restore and resituate the fountain in Hoyt Lake,” said Executive Director Stephanie Crockatt. “The fountain had seized both mechanically and electrically, so the entire mechanism with its electrical conduit had to be carefully lifted out of the lake, cleaned, re-calibrated, re-wired and now lowered back into the water. We have many to thank, as this was literally a heavy lift.”
