Team Leaders of @WholeFoods’ Williamsburg store

Team Leaders of @WholeFoods’ Williamsburg store held their monthly meeting at @navalcemetery to celebrate #EarthDay. We kicked off the afternoon with a tour of the space, highlighting the history of the site and the native pollinators in bloom for spring. @WholeFoods’ Williamsburg also donated snacks and drinks in-kind to our Earth Month Volunteer Celebration. Thank you to @WholeFoods’ Williamsburg for keeping our volunteers properly fueled for Earth Month! We hope you visit us again soon.

Shout out to @nycferry for keeping the greenway clean and green this #EarthDay !Volunteers aerated tree pits, weeded invasives, and picked up litter along the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway on Flushing Ave and Williamsburg West Street. We ended the day with a tour at the @navalcemeterylandscape - what a way to celebrate Brooklyn’s greenspaces for Earth Day. Thank you so much for your support, @nycferry! If you're interested in a corporate volunteer/stewardship session, get in touch with BGI's Development Director, Sam - sbrownbeatty@brooklyngreenway.org.

🚲✨ Who wants better greenway connections in #coneyisland and #sheepsheadbay ? Show of hands 🙋🏽‍♀️ Our 2024 BGI Brooklyn Greenway User Study found that improving connections to surrounding neighborhoods and adding more access points would get more people out riding and enjoying the greenway! Better access = more joy, more rides, and stronger community connections. Let’s make it happen! 🌿💡#bikenyc #walknyc #greenways4nyc

Love at first sight is on our minds this Valentine

Love at first sight is on our minds this Valentine's Day! When Tom attended BGI's annual fundraiser last June, he zeroed in on Naval Cemetery Landscape Artist-in-Residence @jessicadalrymple's portrait of the NCL in autumn, totally "fall"ing in love with the beautiful scape. To his surprise, he would meet the soon-to-be love of his life, Angela, just a few days later in his local grocery store. Another moment of love at first sight, they quickly became an item, and Tom gifted her the portrait of the NCL as a token of his affection. They shared their first "I love you" at their first visit to the @naturesacred Sacred Bench, forever solidifying the Sacred Grove as a special place in their story. Tom's special feeling about the painting became reality when he proposed to Angela at the Sacred Bench in autumn, with a note in the @naturesacred journal sharing that he had "something very important to ask her." Now the portrait sits happily in their home, a tender reminder of the scene where they began their life together as an engaged couple. We are so happy to share in Tom and Angela's joy this holiday, and wish you all a very happy Valentine's Day. (Thank you, Tom and Angela for sharing your story and photos with us! This love story was brought to you by BGI Development Director, Sam, who asked her brother to buy a ticket to BGI's annual fundraiser, and now the rest is history!)
