The Bronx River Alliance serves as a coordinated voice for the river and works in harmonious partnership to protect, improve, and restore the Bronx River.
Program Supported by Wade Trim Foundation Grant: Installation of a living green roof atop of a storage container in Concrete Plant Park in the south Bronx. The funding allowed for the fortification of the container structures to be able to hold the weight of the incoming green roof.
“This project has inspired community members to envision new solutions to common problems. Through the implementation of this dynamic green roof, excess stormwater can be captured, mitigating problems such as flooding, erosion, and breeding ground for mosquitoes. The project also increases the total critical pollinator habitat in this waterfront park.”
