Just Released: Just Nature NYC Fact Sheet!

Written by the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance and the Cities Team at The Nature Conservancy in New York.

The Just Nature NYC partnership has just released our first fact sheet: “How a Healthy and Equitable Urban Forest Can Help Communities Thrive.” The main goal of our partnership is to analyze and communicate about how environmental hazards and natural resources are being distributed across the city. We wanted to give our readers a primer on why the urban forest is an environmental justice issue and how fostering the urban forest can help mitigate climate risks and improve public health in frontline and environmental justice communities. We also share a few ways folks can help support our urban forest here in NYC!
