Welcome Our Interns!

“Our interns have been very helpful over the past few weeks. Each day we choose an area of priority around Cadman park and neighboring parks within the district. During the heat of the summer, our green spaces continue to grow and require care and attention. “

“Our daily routine is clearing gardens of invasive weeds, making a way for native perennials during the fall planting which tends to be a higher success establishment rate during the cooler season. “

“I’ve learned so much about these students from their educational expertise to their goals and future career pursuits. The biggest take away has been their love for the city, their desire to continue “soaking” in our urban oasis. They’ve even mentioned that it’s been enlightening and has opened their views on how many people use our parks for some many different uses. This summer they’re really learning the “Brooklyn Way” an inter-connective fabric between people and parks. “
