Urban Conservation
The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) is actively engaged in urban conservation efforts aimed at preserving biodiversity and fostering environmental stewardship within urban landscapes. Through various initiatives, NYBG works to protect and restore native plant species, create green spaces, and promote sustainable practices in urban areas. These efforts include community-based projects, such as urban tree planting programs and green infrastructure development, as well as research and educational programs designed to raise awareness about the importance of urban biodiversity conservation. By partnering with local communities, government agencies, and other organizations, NYBG is making significant strides in safeguarding urban ecosystems and enhancing the quality of life for city residents while promoting a healthier and more sustainable urban environment.
