As a nonsectarian, nonprofit, Harlem land trust, our Board of Directors and Membership created and protected for public use four green open spaces to help strengthen our Harlem neighborhood. We steward as trustees 3 vest-pocket parks with big-city farming opportunities, and 1 urban meadow playground. They help to bring together people of diverse ages, cultures, genders, incomes, races, religions, sexual orientations, etc. Our group grows the idea and practice of "community" with projects and programs for the benefit of neighborhood residents and all those wishing to become involved in our volunteer-driven organization.
