The NAC stands by the right of all New Yorkers to visit and enjoy our city’s parks and natural areas. We believe that respect, safety, and access to nature are basic human rights, and we will continue our work to help make these places just and equitable for all.

Inspiring quote for the day from @TimBeatley: why don't we reimagine cities as parks? Reimagine cities as forests? @NaturalAreasNYC @BiophilicCities

The NAC is at @REI to celebrate #nycnaturegoals! We’re here to talk about the Declaration of Rights to NYC Nature (https://t.co/RatQ2vJRb4), and we have an exciting announcement to make about the #nyc sustainability plan, OneNYC. Thanks to everyone who could join us!
