Join Us March 18 for an Evening on Preserving Local Green Space!
Annual Meeting: 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

For nearly 40 years, the Riverdale Nature Preservancy has worked to protect the natural areas and green spaces that make our community special. This year’s annual meeting brings that mission to life with an evening of powerful ideas, practical strategies, and inspiring examples from across the Bronx and NYC. We hope to see you next week.

We will hear from Matthew Shore of South Bronx Unite, who will share how a community land trust is helping Bronx residents reclaim and protect land for long‑term community use. This is a model of grassroots stewardship with lessons for every neighborhood.

We will also welcome Oded Holzinger and Melissa Rosenthal from the Natural Areas Conservancy, who will discuss their citywide work restoring forests, wetlands, and natural areas, with a focus on green spaces we rely on here in Riverdale and the Bronx.

Together, these conversations will highlight what it takes to care for the natural and historic resources we already have, and how each of us can play a role in preserving Riverdale’s unique environment for generations to come.
