GARDENS
As political, academic, and social leaders discuss
how best to increase access to fresh, nutritious
foods and quality open spaces, NYRP is leading by
example. Our gardens produce 4.5 tons of fruits
and vegetables every year and are concentrated
in neighborhoods where being able to grow fresh
produce can make a real difference in people’s
lives, and where opportunities to reap the
measurable physical and mental health benefits
of greenspace are otherwise limited. In a vast
and growing city like New York, these communitycentric spaces are vital.
But what makes NYRP’s gardens truly special
is the critical role they play in our efforts to
improve quality of life and build community
at the neighborhood level. In 2012-2013, our
gardens hosted recurring free events such as yoga
classes with Club Fit, outdoor Garden Grooves
concerts, live performances of Shakespearean
plays, free Summer Movie Nights (with free
popcorn), and the City Chicken Institute, which
teaches urban farmers how they can humanely
raise poultry in America’s largest metropolis.
We held 75 such events in 2012, and in 2013,
we hosted nearly 100 free programs for over
1700 people. Additionally, we’ve held dozens of
workshops with community garden groups to help
these communities get the most out of their shared
spaces; these include composting and pruning
workshops as well as educational sessions on
urban agriculture.
As political, academic, and social
leaders discuss how best to increase
access to fresh, nutritious foods and
quality open spaces, NYRP is leading
by example.
02 NYRP 2013 ANNUAL REPORT
In 2013, the Gil Hodges Community Garden in
Brooklyn was transformed by the installation of a
rain garden to more efficiently use rainwater, waterpermeable paving stones, an outdoor classroom,
a birch reading grove, and—incredibly—bioswales
within the site and on the sidewalk outside that
filter storm runoff through living organic material
to clean it before it drains into the Hudson River
estuary. This work was funded in part by the New
York City Department of Environmental Protection
and Jo Malone London, a fragrance company
that inspired the addition of a “fragrance walk”
of perfumed flowers to the finished garden.

opportunity to pilot innovative green infrastructure
is an example we plan to continue. Our plans
for the Willis Avenue Community Garden, which
began construction late fall 2013, involved the
design of a new, modular structure built from a
“kit of parts” that are ready-made to provide the
benefits of green design. Moreover, the modular
parts can be assembled in different ways to suit
different needs. Elsewhere, they might make
a gazebo, a shed, or a kiosk. We developed
this design with the Urban Air Foundation, TEN
Arquitectos, and Buro Happold, and see the
potential for broad applications in New York City
and beyond.
Meanwhile, we are giving non-NYRP-owned
gardens new ways to access NYRP’s resources
and expertise through our Gardens for the City
program. Recognizing that many community
gardens miss out on the advantages that come
with being backed by an institution like NYRP, we
created Gardens for the City to help dedicated
gardeners who don’t happen to use an NYRP
garden. In 2013, eight garden groups received
training, materials, and site improvements through
Gardens for the City. Notable achievements
include the installation of planting beds with builtin trellises and covered winter boxes to extend
the growing season at Amsterdam Houses, a
New York City Housing Authority property in
Manhattan, and the large-scale restoration of the
Crystal Wells Community Garden in Brooklyn in
which community members worked alongside
NYRP staff to clear dangerous wire fences from
between garden plots, build a shade structure
and composting bins, and replace old mulch
and woodchips.

We got our start picking up trash. In the 1990’s,
the public parks of upper Manhattan had badly
declined. Neglect and illegal dumping rendered
them practically unusable. Yet today, after years
of work in partnership with the NYC Department
of Parks & Recreation, New Yorkers are enjoying
a renaissance of open spaces in the northernmost
reaches of Manhattan. Since our founding,
NYRP has helped rehabilitate Fort Washington
Park and Fort Tryon Park in upper Manhattan,
where our nonprofit New Leaf Restaurant still
operates. As of 2013, NYRP continued helping the
Parks Department maintain Highbridge Park and
neighboring Sherman Creek Park, home of NYRP’s
outdoor education center at Swindler Cove and
the Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse.
Situated on the banks of the Harlem River,
Sherman Creek is special. It’s where thousands
of kids come to learn about the natural world
that still finds places to thrive in the city.

The Riley-Levin Children’s Garden is here, 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. And it’s the home of
Swindler Cove, a truly unique place that offers a
mix of habitats found together nowhere else in
Manhattan, making it a popular spot for students
to see and touch the things they’re learning about
in the classroom. Nearly 2,000 students visit each
year with teachers and parents, and events like
the Harlem River Festival invite everyone in the
community to connect with nature in ways they
may not have thought possible in New York City.
In 2013 our Harlem River Festival coincided with
Row New York’s Peter Jay Sharp Regatta, drawing
hundreds to Swindler Cove. Free family events
such as learn-to-row activities and guided nature
walks helped to activate this unique space for a
new set of visitors. NYRP’s educators were on
hand, and kids and adults alike were amazed to
learn that the Harlem River supports a diverse and
thriving ecosystem. As they do often in the course
of a school year, our education staff guided the
curious through nature walks, and even showed

how abundant life can be in the Harlem River,
bringing fish and insects ashore in seine nets
for observation and release.
Like much of the city, Sherman Creek Park
sustained damage from Sandy, but even this was
a learning experience. We found that our restored
wetlands did an admirable job of mitigating the
storm surge, and while we lost several trees, we
learned which species are best able to survive such
extraordinary weather events.
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.
GUIDED NATURE
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 education
pavilion that will be built from a design chosen in
a public competition between emerging New York
City architects. 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.

MILLIONTREES
NYC
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!
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. Such enthusiasm
and responsibility are going to be critical
as we, along with all New Yorkers, plan the
city’s future.
Urban populations are growing worldwide, a trend
that obliges us to think creatively about how to
apply our ever-increasing store of knowledge to
improve living standards for everyone.
Green design, like the bioswales at the Gil
Hodges Community Garden and the modular
structure at Willis Avenue are part of this
equation. But 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 greenspace 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 2013, alongside our partners

we planted nearly 807,000 trees, with plans
outlined for thousands more in 2014.
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.

STORM
RECOVERY
The human cost of Hurricane Sandy in late 2012
was all too clear. With thousands homeless and
thousands more facing severe damage to their
properties, the immediate focus was on restoring
victims’ quality of life any way we could. But to
make a real recovery, we had to consider the
whole environment.
New York City’s trees took serious losses in the
storm: it was the worst tree mortality event on
record. But in the aftermath, NYRP was perfectly
positioned to help.
In NYRP-managed parkland in northern Manhattan,
we set about clearing debris from trails and
walkways. In many places, damaged tree limbs
had not fallen, but still hung precariously overhead;
these were cleared before the affected parks
reopened. We also branched out to lend a helping
hand to other City parks in Queens and Brooklyn
that had suffered similar damage.
Meanwhile, when planting season re-emerged in
2013, we worked with the New York City Housing
Authority on housing properties in Coney Island
and the Rockaways, to plant more trees than
Sandy took down. In Highland Park, hit hard by
both Sandy and Irene a year earlier, we partnered
with JetBlue to plant 2,576 trees in ongoing
reforestation efforts. Longer-term, the work NYRP
does to reforest and stabilize open spaces and,
at Sherman Creek Park, to restore wetlands as
buffers against erosion and flooding, will have
broad applications in theory and practice wherever
extreme weather threatens to impact urban areas.

AND BEYOND
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 qualityof-life improvements compound for future
generations. While these improvements are real
and significant, they are hard to quantify, which
can lead to suboptimal levels of investment in
the kind of greening and community building
work NYRP does so well.
With this in mind, NYRP will launch an
ambitious multi-year project, The Haven
Project. This project calls for unprecedented
investments in the South Bronx. NYRP will
commit to improving both the quality and
quantity of greenspace there 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.
Meanwhile, we expect that innovative green
design features like those NYRP is rolling out
at Gil Hodges and Willis Avenue Community
Gardens will become standard, helping to
maximize the social and environmental benefits
of our work.
