  • Periodic cooking demonstrations and resident events to introduce children to nutritious foods

Green Roofs

Green roofs collect and reduce storm water runoff and improve the air quality in the neighborhood, which has the second highest asthma rate in the Bronx. By filtering and diverting water from the City’s sewer system, Intervale Green contributes to cleaner waterways and beaches.
