Organizer of Birding Brooklyn Bridge Park
The Green Roof Researchers Alliance (GRRA) is a consortium of over 50 researchers, educators, and policymakers from 19 different institutions. Founded and coordinated by NYC Audubon in 2017 with funding from The New York Community Trust, the GRRA is studying the benefits and potential of green roofs, developing policy, creating curriculum, and working to improve and expand green roofs in New York City. The GRRA is synthesizing knowledge and needs for advancing green roof investments in an effort to improve sustainability, resilience, biodiversity, and social equity in access to urban nature for all New Yorkers.
