New York Restoration Project

New York Restoration Project is now on Bluesky! Follow us there for updates on tree giveaways, garden events, and more 🦋bsky.app/profile/nyrp.b…

Over the weekend, we teamed up with @NYRP to give away 175 trees to community members — and partnered with Big Reuse to hand out countertop composting bins!

I was proud to join New York Restoration Project in planting a tree as we gear up for Earth Day tomorrow. Every tree is a commitment—to cleaner air, cooler streets, and a greener future for our communities. Let’s keep planting, protecting, and preserving.

New Yorkers’ quality of life depends on meaningful investment in our parks. Thank you to the mayoral candidates who joined @NY4P and Play Fair at @NYLawSchool to share their visions for NYC’s park system and discuss the urgent need for @NYCParks funding. #ParksPower #NYC
