Thomas Coleman

Hello, my name is Thomas Coleman and I am an Environmental Justice Fellow. My roots in this city run deep being descendants of both the owners Luna Bakery, Ross and Lucy LoPresti, and the famed "Egg Man of Newburgh" Francis Coleman. I have always loved the history and diversity of Newburgh from its foundations as Headquarters for General Washington to the Illumination in 1884 I've found each era of Newburgh's history to be immensely fascinating. I now look forward to making my own bit of Newburgh history by combining my passion for the outdoors and my love for my community to help promote the education, maintenance, and benefits of trees in our city!
