Revitalizing Public Spaces

Our Public Spaces programs give outdoor lovers the opportunity to take their passion for nature to greener and greater heights by beautifying public green spaces such as parks and gardens. We work side by side with the NYC Parks Department and other community partners to pick up debris, prune trees, plant flowers, remove weeds and invasive species, build garden beds, and more. We believe that New Yorkers in all five boroughs deserve access to clean and nurturing green spaces, gardens, and schools. See below for a selection of our Public Spaces projects!
