Join ioby this Saturday to hike through Northern Manhattan's beautiful parks. ioby will lead a seed hiking group starting at Central Park and will continue through Morningside, St. Nicholas, Jackie Robinson, and Highbridge parks. We'll convene on the Northwest corner at 110th & Central Park West at 10 am and party at Highbridge Terrace when we get there.

Thank you.

This Earth Day, ioby has a lot to be grateful for. During last week's match, donors like you fully funded six New York City environmental projects. Thanks to an incredibly generous match from the Fledgling Fund, an anonymous supporter, and more than 65 donors like you, we have already surpassed our fundraising goal for the month, raising more than $8,500 for projects in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx. And with your help, we did it in only three days!

Spring is a very important time for New Yorkers to get involved in environmental work in their neighborhoods, so your support is especially appreciated at this time of year.

Remember, you don't have to be wealthy to be a citizen philanthropist! You just have to care.

Please check out new and improved video page where you can hear directly from New Yorkers about the great work they're doing all over the city. You can hear about compost(!) projects from Western Queens to North Brooklyn to Governor's Island, about community outreach in Northern Manhattan, follow the impact of your support at PS 134 and Prospect Park, hear Root For Trees' plan to introduce you to trees in Chelsea and 6/15 Green's plan to teach Brooklyn about solar installation and maintenance.

Do you have an environmental project for your neighborhood that could use some love? Does your project need funding or volunteers? Do you have a community garden that needs some plants and flowers? Do you have a vision for a green roof or clean energy on the roof of your community center or school? Is there an abandoned lot in your neighborhood that could use attention? Do you want to organize some friends to pick up trash in the park where your pets and children play every day?

Spring is almost here. Soon we’ll be waking up our garden beds, rolling over our compost piles, and installing solar panels and wind turbines on our roofs. When the winter thaws, we’ll be itching to get outdoors on the weekends and get involved in the neighborhood. ioby is here to help.
