COMMUNITY GARDENS
We’re building stronger communities by improving access to high-quality, public space.
RENOVATION SPOTLIGHT
La Casita Community Garden
Mott Haven in the South Bronx is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in New York City with a population of about 50,000 people per square mile. East Harlem in Manhattan contains the highest geographical concentration of low income public housing projects in the United States. Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn suffers some of the highest rates of crime in the city.
In response to a discussion on inequality in New York City, former NYC Deputy Mayor of Economic Development and former CEO of Bloomberg LP, Dan Doctoroff said “The best equalizers are access to healthcare, access to green space, and access to nutritious food.”
At New York Restoration Project, we restore and revitalize open space in the city’s most densely populated and least green neighborhoods. After acquiring 52 community gardens in 1999, we’ve steadily restored more than half of them. In 2014 NYRP launched a capital campaign to raise funds for the complete design and renovation of the remaining 23 gardens.
Our gardens provide a safe space for children to play, for families to gather, for neighbors to connect. We’re building stronger communities by improving access to high-quality, public space. We help integrate the spaces into daily life by hosting free programs, events and workshops that bring neighbors together and help families spend time outdoors. In 2014, NYRP hosted 118 events for over 2,000 participants, from free health and wellness programs like outdoor yoga to educational workshops like gardening, composting and urban chicken keeping. We further expanded our partnership with Brooklyn Academy of Music and The Bronx Museum of the Arts, bringing dozens of high-quality art, music and dance programs into the city’s most underserved neighborhoods.
Our hands-on education program, Garden Growers—launched in 2013—was expanded to six NYRP gardens in 2014 in Bronx, Brooklyn

and Manhattan. Within easy walking distance of elementary schools, teachers commit to bringing their classes out throughout the spring or fall growing seasons to complete a series of lessons and to tend to a garden bed. Over 500 young students from eleven schools, grades K-6, participated. By providing hands-on learning in our community gardens to students who reside in the surrounding neighborhood, we are teaching essential skills while instilling the values of long-term care and stewardship.
NYRP’s ability to work on our own land also provides the unique opportunity to pilot innovative new strategies for sustainability and green infrastructure. The collaborative restoration of Willis Avenue Community Garden in Mott Haven, Bronx, is a shining example. Alongside the Urban Air Foundation, TEN Arquitectos, and Buro Happold, we designed and implemented a one-of-a-kind, modular structure that, much like Lego blocks, can be assembled in different ways to suit different needs; at Willis Avenue, we built the structure to act as a casita, a type of structure favored by Hispanic and Latin-American gardeners. Elsewhere, they might make a gazebo, a shed, or a kiosk. The casita was designed to include a roof to provide shade and weather protection, collect water, and support photovoltaic solar panels—the potential for broad applications in New York City and beyond are considerable.
Meanwhile, we are giving non-NYRP-owned gardens ways to access NYRP’s resources and expertise through our Gardens for the City program. Recognizing that many community gardens do not have the centralized resources of NYRP, we created Gardens for the City to help dedicated gardeners in spaces other than our own. In 2014, seven garden groups received training, materials, and site improvements through the program. We built raised planting beds for community gardens in places like New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) public housing properties including Ingersoll Houses and Marcy Houses. We also donated materials like shrubs, planters, lumber and more to nine other community spaces including public schools and community centers.

Our story begins with trash—appalling mounds of dirty, dangerous trash. Since 1995, NYRP has cleaned up 2,400 tons of garbage from public spaces, and over the last few years, we’ve diverted nearly 100 tons of waste into compost.
In the 1990’s, neglect and illegal dumping rendered the public parks of upper Manhattan practically unusable. Yet today, after years of work in partnership with the NYC Department of Parks, we’ve completely transformed open spaces in the northernmost reaches of Manhattan. We helped rehabilitate Fort Washington Park and Fort Tryon Park in upper Manhattan. Today, NYRP serves as the manager for Highbridge Park and neighboring Sherman Creek Park.
Cynthia Vargas, educator at PS 5 and lifelong resident of Washington Heights, can attest to the changes in her neighborhood, “The work here wasn’t just about cleaning up a park. Every year that the park improved, made us, as a community, feel valued. And in return, I’ve watched as people have become more engaged, not only with the environment, but with each other too.”
Home of New York City’s most vibrant natural forests, Highbridge and Sherman Creek Parks serve as the destination for field trips through NYRP’s “Nature in My Neighborhood” program for public school students. Nature in My Neighborhood is the umbrella for five unique, 1.5 hour length environmental education programs centered on the urban forest and aquatic ecology. The curricula, activities and events for educators, students and youth groups are geared towards empowering urban youth and communities to identify, create and care for nature in their neighborhood. Last year alone, Nature in My Neighborhood provided outdoor education programming to over 2,100 students at Sherman Creek Park, primarily to children 11 years old and under.
The multi-faceted Sherman Creek Park is home to Swindler Cove, the Riley-Levin Children’s Garden, and NYRP’s Peter Jay Sharp

boathouse, where our partner Row New York offers free or low-cost professional-caliber competitive rowing for local kids, floats just offshore. The park offers a unique mix of habitats, making it a popular spot for students to see and touch the things they’re learning about in the classroom.
NYRP has invested some $15 million in the project of converting Sherman Creek Park from a de facto dumping ground into a unique and accessible slice of public parkland. That project continues with the construction of a new public space on the water to the north of the existing park, on a site that formerly hosted boathouses and, later, decades of accumulated detritus. The restored site will feature an environmental education pavilion and boat storage facility, returning waterfront access to the Washington Heights/Inwood community. It’s an exciting opportunity that reflects the dynamism of the park itself, and the flowering of the upper Manhattan neighborhood around Dyckman Street that for so long lacked the variety of high-quality outdoor spaces enjoyed elsewhere in the city.

If you can’t picture a million trees, picture nine New Yorkers. By the end of 2015, MillionTreesNYC will have planted one tree for every nine city residents - everyone in Manhattan, everyone in the Bronx, everyone in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.
If you can’t picture a million trees, picture nine New Yorkers. By the end of 2015, MillionTreesNYC will have planted one tree for every nine city residents—everyone in Manhattan, everyone in the Bronx, everyone in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.
Finding places to put a million new trees in the country’s largest urban area requires a healthy measure of creativity. Through MillionTreesNYC, we have reforested public parks, planted trees at schools, hospitals, and public housing projects, and even given trees away, free of charge—16,000 free trees in the spring and fall of 2014 to be exact. In fact, our pioneering tree giveaways have been shown to produce better outcomes in terms of survival than trees planted along streets. We arm the tree recipient with knowledge, and their enthusiasm and sense of responsibility do the rest.
While at NYRP we are constantly exploring creative new ways to implement green infrastructure, we also know that an idea doesn’t have to be on the cutting edge to be transformative.
Consider, for example, the humble tree. It’s well known that trees sequester carbon, and that living near green space makes people happier. Less appreciated, however, is the role trees play as air filters, removing airborne particles that contribute to respiratory ailments. In some cases, we just have to remember the things our ancestors have known for generations, like the beneficial effect a properly-placed shade tree can have on a building’s energy use in summer by simply shading the structure—or in winter, when a botanical windbreak can keep a building warmer.
By the end of 2014, alongside our partners at the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, we planted over 930,000 trees, with plans outlined for thousands more in 2015.
MILLIONTREESNYC
14 NYRP 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
When we started in 2007, MillionTreesNYC was expected to take ten years to finish. But by incorporating lessons learned from experience, such as the extraordinary success of our pioneering tree giveaways, we are on course to finish two years early in 2015, all while saving millions of dollars off the original budget. But the end of MillionTreesNYC won’t be the end of NYRP’s tree planting efforts. We look forward to applying the lessons of MillionTreesNYC and the relationships we’ve built across New York City to maintain and improve the urban canopy.

With the right care and a little luck, our gardens, parks, and trees will outlive all of us. So too will the positive impacts of our work, as quality-of-life improvements compound for future generations.
With the right care, our gardens, parks, and trees will outlive all of us. So too will the positive impacts of our work, as quality-of-life improvements compound for future generations. While these improvements are real and significant, they are hard to quantify.
With this in mind, NYRP has launched an ambitious multi-year project: The Haven Project. This project calls for unprecedented investments in the South Bronx. NYRP will commit to transforming a network of green spaces in Mott Haven and Port Morris while activating these spaces with community-centered programming. While we do this, we’ll be working with leading experts in public health and social welfare to measure changes in a broad range of quality-of-life indicators.
Located just north of Randall’s Island on the Bronx’s southernmost peninsula, Mott Haven and Port Morris bear the brunt of housing some of the city’s largest industries and highway infrastructure, resulting in poor environmental health outcomes such as asthma and obesity. As part of the poorest congressional district in the country, Mott Haven and Port Morris contain under-resourced parks and open spaces and a high concentration of public housing facilities, leaving a lot of room for improvement and growth—which is where we plan to step in.
Working alongside a cross section of public and private partners, The Haven Project has the potential to transform our very thinking around how cities are, and should be, built.
