Our first show since Tina had her baby girl, then Rima had her baby boy! With a special focus on communities of need, NYRP works in public parks, housing projects, vacant lots, schools, on sidewalks, the waterfront, and in our own community gardens. Our comprehensive approach to urban land management includes community engagement, capital construction, cultural programming, landscape maintenance, and environmental education. Together, these efforts impact the city on multiple scales, from one small block to all five boroughs. In service to the common goal of enhancing the quality of life in New York City, our work currently focuses on three primary objectives:
planting one million trees by 2017 in partnership with NYC Parks through the MillionTreesNYCinitiative successfully completed on November 20, 2015, two years ahead of schedule; revitalizing all 52 NYRP-owned community gardens, and supporting the creation and restoration of other green spaces throughout the city to enhance social and environmental resiliency; bringing back to life under-resourced public parks and transforming a formerly neglected stretch of upper Manhattan waterfront into a stunning new park with direct public access to the Harlem River.
