Nature is a fundamental right of every New Yorker.

We restore and steward urban green spaces so our city can thrive.

NYRP creates, restores, and nurtures green space across all five boroughs. We help make our city greener, healthier, and more resilient by expanding public green space and the urban tree canopy while engaging New Yorkers in environmental stewardship.
