About NYRP

New York Restoration Project believes nature is a fundamental human right.

Everyone deserves access to high-quality public green space. NYRP works collaboratively with residents in communities across the five boroughs to renovate gardens, restore parks, plant trees, promote urban agriculture, and build partnerships that transform the city’s landscape. We value the unique experiences, knowledge, and resources that each community member brings to our work. We are committed to creating a greener, more resilient city for all.

• We steward over 80 acres of parkland in Northern Manhattan;
• Own and operate more than 50 community gardens throughout all five boroughs;
• Distribute thousands of free trees annually;
• And build roughly ten new gardens every year.
