ABOUT CHRISTINA DELFICO
Named a 2025 Woman of Distinction by NYS Assembly Member Rebecca A. Seawright Christina Delfico spent her early career as an Emmy-nominated Executive Producer with Sesame Workshop garnering over 40 awards in children’s media. She now uses her “producing superpowers” to advocate and create programming that invites the public to deepen their relationship within the natural world.

She was honored to lead a panel discussion at the United Nations on “Sustainability Practices Across Industries” to inspire others. While Green Committee Co-Chair for the Producers Guild of America Christina helped HBO and other media giants reduce production waste. She helped a NYC public school navigate funding resources to secure nearly $2M for a green roof.

In 2012 Christina founded iDig2Learn to provide children the chance to shift from screen time to green time. Initially creating school gardens, plants soon became the anchor to discover all life among us. Now expanded, iDig2Learn serves all ages and abilities through nature events, chef-led community meals and landscape designs that serve multi-species communities.

Christina is an avid gardener, a Forest for All NYC coalition and NYC Pollinator Working Group member. The NY Times covered her milestone 2024 project of planting NYC’s first Miyawaki Method pocket forest. 1,500 native trees and shrubs will quickly become a full forest thanks to funding partner SUGi and lead contributors RIOC, GRIN, Indigenous leaders from the Lenape Center, the Yakama Nation, Big Reuse plus hundreds of volunteers.
