Big news: NYCDGA has been awarded a $2,500 grant from the spring 2025 NYC Green Fund Grassroots grant program! This funding will help us bring our vision for Highland Park to life—installing educational signage about native trees, transforming a barren dirt patch into a native grass lawn, and expanding free youth disc golf programs in Cypress Hills and East New York.
We’re honored to be recognized for our work and excited to deepen our impact in one of NYC’s park areas. Thanks to all of you who volunteer, donate, and show up—this belongs to all of us. And thank you to the NYC Green Fund coalition for making this possible.
We will keep you updated about next steps with planning these educational events, but two things we could use help with immediately is:
- Someone to take the lead on organizing the educational signage that will go on each teepad (identifying nearby plants, historical facts or figures about the surroundings, etc.)
- Let us know if you would like to help us run the disc golf education events!
