Bronx River Alliance - Outreach & Greenway
Bronx River Alliance
Outreach & Greenway Intern
The Bronx River Alliance is a public private partnership of the Parks Department and more than 80 organizations that acts as a coordinated voice for the river. The Alliance works collaboratively with public and private partners to protect, improve, and restore the Bronx River corridor and greenway so that they can be healthy ecological, recreational, educational, and economic resources for the Bronx communities through which the river flows.
Since the founding of the Bronx River Alliance in 2001, we have focused on three aims. One is to restore and protect the Bronx River. A second is to create a continuous Bronx River Greenway along the eight-mile stretch of the river in the New York City. And the third aim, interwoven into every activity, is to ensure that the river, the greenway, and the every process of improving them strengthen and build resources for Bronx communities.
The Alliance is housed at the Bronx headquarters of the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation and works closely with Parks & Recreation to implement four core program areas: Ecology, Education, Greenway, and Outreach and Technical Assistance.
