Mayor Adams has failed to restore basic services to NYC Parks in November's budget modification. We stand with the #PlayFair coalition, and will continue to call for a reversal of this damaging decision.
Mayor Adams' cuts to NYC Department of Parks & Recreation Parks in the FY25 budget eliminated nearly 800 staffing lines, instated a hiring freeze, and ended crucial programs that families depend on. These actions perpetuate a dangerous trend of disinvestment in parks at a time when these spaces are more critical than ever. By failing to restore basic services and staffing for Parks, NYC Office of the Mayor is endangering New Yorkers and weakening communities. These austerity measures prevent the filling of urgently needed positions, including Parks Enforcement Patrol officers, Natural Resources Group staff, and City Parks Workers, who ensure our parks are safe, clean, and accessible.?

What exactly does wetlands mitigation mean? When infrastructure projects unavoidably impact wetlands, mitigation is a way of offsetting the impact through wetland creation, restoration, and enhancement—with a goal of no-net wetland loss. In New York City, this process has its unique challenges due to policy, resource, and physical constraints. In our recently published report, author Emily Walker interviewed experts in the field to identify specific pain points in the mitigation process—and potential solutions.
