As a nonsectarian, nonprofit Harlem land trust, our Board of Directors and membership use and protect our four public, open spaces to help strengthen the social fabric of Harlem. We utilize our 3 vest-pocket parks and community gardens, and 1 urban meadow playground to bring together people of diverse ages, cultures, genders, incomes, races, religions, sexual orientations, etc. Our group grows the idea and practice of "community" with projects and programs for the benefit of neighborhood residents, people in need, and all those interested in joining our group to improve the quality of life.
