At the May Volunteer Day on May 13th, we planted 321 native plants with volunteers at the 106th mall!

During the event, we planted the following native plants: Blue Heartleaf Aster, Late Purple Aster, Purple Love Grass, Pale Leaf Sunflower, Aster “October Skies”, and one Heuchera.

This work directly contributed to The Great Green Way initiative, where we are restoring all 83 malls from 70th to 168th Street with native plants. These plants attract pollinators, support biodiversity, develop deep root systems that prevent erosion, improve water infiltration, store carbon, and add organic matter.
