OUTSIGHT is presented by LEIMAY in partnership with New York Restoration Project.

The New York Restoration Project believes that access to nature is a fundamental human right. We work to ensure that all New Yorkers have equitable access to green space. For 25 years, NYRP has invested in and stewarded parks and gardens throughout the city’s five boroughs to strengthen communities, promote food sovereignty, and counter environmental and social injustice. Effectively carrying out our mission requires collaboration, synergy, and understanding of the communities we serve on many different levels. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are embedded into our core identity and we deeply value the unique perspectives, knowledge, and resources that each member of our team and extended community brings to NYRP.
