Amy GavarisNew York Restoration Project
New York Restoration Project (NYRP) carries out
Founder Bette Midler’s dream of a cleaner, greener New
York City. NYRP restores, revitalizes and develops under-
resourced parks and community gardens throughout the
city’s five boroughs, working to ensure that every
neighborhood has access to vibrant, green spaces. By
providing enriching educational and community
programming, NYRP works to instill individual and civic
respect for nature and responsibility for contributing to
New York City’s environmental sustainability.
