The Broadway Malls may be a narrow corridor of parkland, however they are capable of providing a functioning refuge for the abundant wildlife of NYC. We are planting thousands of native plants on our malls at 150th and 153rd, selecting the species most valued by New York’s diverse number of pollinators, birds, and bats. 

The Malls are in a critical space between Riverside Park on the west and central park on the east, with connectivity to several northern Manhattan Parks. By enhancing the habitat value of the malls, we are creating an ecological corridor that will allow for the movement of desired species through the region, aiding in efforts to conserve the ever dwindling pollinator and bat populations in the northeast.
