Healthy Yards Monroe County originated with Color Pittsford Green and Color Penfield Green but has grown as additional Color Your Community Green (CYCG) teams joined the collaboration. All CYCG groups are under the umbrella of the Climate Solutions Accelerator of the Genesee-Finger Lakes Region, but each develops actions and campaigns tailored to their own village or town.
