Dear Peter, Green-Wood is much more than just one of New York City's largest greenspaces. With its combination of hills, gardens, meadows, forests, and ponds, it is a truly one-of-a-kind landscape in our City.  It is a great responsibility to steward this environment and ensure its vibrancy long into the future. Today, we are asking for your help in nurturing this valued community resource. If you've been meaning to give, now is a great time. Through tomorrow (Friday), your donation will be doubled thanks to a matching gift from members of our Board.  By donating today, you'll help our team directly with efforts to: Diversify our living collection with species that will be able to survive the changing climate. Plant trees in groves and along allées, replicating the best features of today's landscape so they will exist 100 years from now. Welcome environmental science researchers to our grounds to conduct research that has impacts far beyond our gates. Expand our managed wildflower meadows, which support local wildlife and protect fragile monuments from damage by lawn care machinery. Please take a moment to donate now—anything helps!—to help nurture this landscape that nurtures so many. Sincerely, Joseph Charap Vice President of Horticulture Sara Evans Senior Manager and Curator of Living Collections   P.S. If you've already donated during the matching period, thank you! If you haven't, please take a moment to donate what you can. Thank you! In honor of this rare chance to double the impact of your gift, we're sharing stereoviews from our collections. These cards, which were popular in the mid and late 19th century, would show the viewer one single 3D image when viewed with a special device.  Green-Wood 500 25th Street Brooklyn, NY 11232 green-wood.com Want to change how you receive these emails?
