LoMap is a cross-commu-nity view of downtown NYC's diverse

environment. Lower Manhattan youth of all ages nominated, drew &

described wonderful natural & cultural places they wanted to celebrate & raise awareness about! Designers & interns

at Green Map System originally composed & published LoMap in Spring

2001. It was updated in 2004 & published on 30% PCW recycled paper & posted on-line at H GreenAppleMap.org

is dedicated to NYC’s youth. It & the city-wide Green

Apple Map are local projects of the Green Map System,

an eco-cultural organization active in 250+ communities around

the world, as seen at H greenmap.org. Contact us to start your own local

Green Map project or to help support our non-profit organization:
