Before PlaNYC2030...

Dear Friends!

Summer Solstice is coming upon us and we have been productive in so many ways. More than a decade before PlaNYC2030 was announced, we have been engaged in numerous initiatives to make our city more green and livable. You know know how important our work is, so please give today.

Tell your family members and friends who are fortunate enough to be able to give that you are with us. Contact me if you want our assistance to introduce your network to our efforts and check out the convenient click links below.

Spring has been flowerful and we are already eating greens and radishes! We have accomplished much in a very short time:

* Working with youth, we have all ages in garden, the only exposure to Nature for them in the area
