Happy Earth Day! On this day we celebrate this amazing planet and focus on working together to protect it and its astounding inhabitants.

We chose this day to launch New York Nature Mobile four years ago. Our mission was to bring the wonders of our local wildlife to people around the city and to inspire action to preserve habitats that are crucial to wildlife survival.

Since our founding over 7,000 people have participated in our free pop-up science programs and at community events. Participants have learned about New York’s wildlife and shared their stories of, and interest in the animals they encounter in their neighborhoods. It has been a joy to share our passion for wildlife and to continue learning about the diverse species that make New York City their home.

None of this would have been possible without our dedicated volunteers Dorothy, Nancy, Bob and Kim, our supportive Board of Directors, generous donors, and organizations including Bruce G. Geary Foundation, and Staten Island Running Association. We are forever grateful!

We are excited to start our 5th year with a generous grant from Staten Island Foundation. The grant will help us reach new audiences and move toward sustainability.

We hope on this Earth Day (and everyday) that nature surprises you, brings you joy, and inspires you to protect our amazing home.

Thank you for all of your support!

Happy Earth Day!
