Compost program - the compost program partners with the city of new york to collect food scraps and yard waste, transform them into compost, and distribute the finished compost to community greening groups and parks. By diverting organic material from landfills and incinerators, the program reduces climate-changing emissions and enriches new york city's soils. The program also broadens composting access and education through a master composter course, community garden compost bin installations, volunteer composting days, hands-on workshops, and outreach at local events.
Street tree care - the street tree care initiative engages community members in maintaining and expanding the city's tree canopy through regular tree care, new tree plantings, and public education on the benefits of urban trees.
