DAFFODIL PROJECT ENTERS ITS 20TH YEAR PfP and New Yorkers for Parks (NY4P) are collaborating once again on the Daffodil Project to brighten green spaces citywide when New Yorkers need it the most. Launched by NYC Parks and NY4P in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks as a living memorial to the victims, symbolizing rebirth and bringing hope when the flowers bloom each spring. PfP has been a key partner since the first planting, distributing nearly 700,000 bulbs to thousands of volunteers to plant across the city. NY4P is doubling the size of the program this year to recognize the 20th anniversary of the project and to incorporate a memorial to the New Yorkers we’ve lost to COVID-19. NY4P will distribute nearly one million free daffodil bulbs starting in September, twice the usual amount, and we’ll be helping with the distribution—providing 80,0000 bulbs to volunteers and community groups in all five boroughs. We will also give away crocus bulbs as part of the memorial planting we initiated last year to honor the lives we’ve lost to the pandemic.

CAPACITY FUND GRANTEE, FRIENDS OF FRANCIS LEWIS PARK The return of outdoor programming in New York has been a breath of fresh air and community groups across the city are taking full advantage with our support. Friends of Francis Lewis Park (FOFLP) in Queens recently hosted their first ever "Paint in the Park" session for kids after receiving our Capacity Fund Grant. The event connecting art, nature, and community was born from a public engagement effort in which FOFLP surveyed park goers around what they want to see most in the park. Dorian Mecir, co-president of FOFLP, noted that the arts have been stifled during the pandemic, leaving kids yearning for an outlet. “The combination of sunshine, music, fresh air, and creativity made for the perfect day,” exclaimed Mecir. Have a creative idea for your local park? Bring it to life with our Capacity Fund Grant! Our next deadline is in January, with info sessions happening this fall. LEARN MORE SPOTTED LANTERNFLY INFESTATION Spotted lanternfly (SLF) is an invasive planthopper, first discovered in New York City in July 2020. It is a significant threat to a wide range of agricultural crops including walnut, grapes, hops, apples, blueberries, and stone fruits. The Tree of Heaven is its preferred host tree and is required for its reproduction. SLF has the potential of damaging natural areas and becoming a nuisance in landscapes. Harming our city’s wildlife is usually prohibited, but in an effort to slow the spread of this troublesome species, NYC Parks is putting out a one-time call: if you see a spotted lanternfly, please squish and dispose of this invasive pest. Report any findings to NYC Parks by emailing Forest.Health@parks.nyc.gov.
