Project snapshot
Rooted in New York: Stewardship Edition engages Sunset Park residents in a hands-on curriculum training citizen scientists and stewards to build climate-resilient urban ecosystems. The program covers urban ecology fundamentals, tree canopy management to mitigate heat extremes, and native-plant strategies to improve soil structure, reduce maintenance, prevent erosion, and decrease stormwater runoff. Participants acquire practical monitoring, planting, and stewardship skills to enhance neighborhood resilience, biodiversity, and community-led environmental decision-making.
