This Earth Day, we got our hands in the soil.

On Sunday, April 19th, the Weequahic Park Association partnered with students from the Albert Dorman Honors College at NJIT to plant wildflowers throughout Weequahic Park. This initiative aimed to restore beauty, support pollinators, and reclaim space for our community.

The event was not just about planting flowers; it was about investing in our community, which is often overlooked and overburdened. This is what environmental justice looks like: people coming together, getting their hands in the soil, and committing to the health of our land and our future.

We are grateful to the students who participated, learned, and worked alongside us to honor the land and our future.

If you believe in community-led stewardship, we invite you to join us.
