Bronx Green-Up Partnerships
MillionTreesNYC – Adopt-A-Tree in your neighborhood
MillionTreesNYC has planted more than 200,000 trees since its launch in October 2007, including more than 30,000 street trees. In order to keep these young, newly planted trees healthy and growing, volunteers are needed. Bronx Green-Up leads Street Tree Care workshops in neighborhoods throughout the Bronx, providing tree-care tips and free tools to stewards. Come to a workshop this year and adopt a tree on your block. To host a workshop in your community, call 718.817.8026 or e-mail bronxgreenup@nybg.org.
Bronx Land Trust
The Bronx Land Trust, a nonprofit organization established by gardeners to support and sustain community gardening, manages 16 gardens in the Bronx. In addition to providing services to these gardens, Bronx Green-Up has partnered in major garden redesign projects for these gardens.
Butterfly Project
Bronx Green-Up is a partner of the Butterfly Project, a grassroots, volunteer-led organization of people from around New York City with a common goal—to encourage and assist in the planting of native plants in gardens and other public areas in order to create and strengthen habitat for native pollinators.
GreenThumb
GreenThumb, the community gardening program of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, provides materials, technical assistance, and educational workshops. Bronx Green-Up partners with GreenThumb in leading several workshops a year, while GreenThumb provides important material resources to registered community and school gardeners.
Just Food
The City Farms Program trains, connects, and empowers New York City community gardeners to spread knowledge about growing, selling, and giving away food in their neighborhoods. Bronx Green-Up and Just Food partner to conduct educational workshops and demonstrations about growing and eating healthy fruits and vegetables in the communities where gardens are located.
Sustainable South Bronx—BEST Eco Academy
BEST Eco Academy trains participants for jobs in horticulture, landscape contracting, and bioremediation. Bronx Green-Up and Sustainable South Bronx partner to improve the green spaces in Bronx neighborhoods. Bronx Green-Up leads horticulture workshops for BEST participants, and, in turn, BEST trainees provide invaluable volunteer assistance in Bronx community gardens.
