History of NY Committee

1977 marked the year of the first meeting of the New York Committee.  The initial mission was to inspire, promote and assist with appropriate civic plantings and advise in the planning of green areas in New York City with its first project being Central Park’s Conservancy Garden.  Today it remains true to it’s mission and over the past four decades continues to support significant projects in the five boroughs of New York City.  Click “Read More” to learn about the history and projects of the New York Committee.
