Corporate Partnerships

Help us keep New York City’s parks and community gardens clean, green, and accessible.

New York Restoration Project is the only citywide nature conservancy specifically serving low-income communities. We steward 80 acres of public parkland in Northern Manhattan, care for over 50 community gardens in all five boroughs, and build green spaces for partners in underserved neighborhoods across the city.

Since our founding in 1995, we’ve mobilized over 65,000 volunteers in community greening projects, transforming New York City’s landscape while supporting public health, urban biodiversity, food security, and climate resilience.
