RISE Coastal Native Garden and Outdoor Classroom

In 2009, the City of New York awarded RWA the historical Rockaway Firehouse as headquarters for The Rockaway Institute for Sustainable Environment: a center for community based planning, environmental programs, green collar job training and administrative offices.

With grant money from Fiskars, BC ltd designed an educational garden and path that features local, native plants and a rainwater garden which thrives by “collecting” water from the roof of the Firehouse.  The garden will also serve as a community gathering space and outdoor classroom where RWA will host afterschool programs that foster a deeper understanding and respect for the wetlands, dunes, and beaches of the Rockaway Beach Peninsula.

Location:

Rockaway, Queens
