These living sculptures are vertical meadows that bring Nature to underserved urban communities deprived of environmental justice. They also create opportunities for community science and ecological education for children.

Current project in need of support: Bronx , Crotona Park                                                                                                                                                                                                                                BIRDLINK was scheduled for spring 2020, but due to Covid-19, has been postponed to spring 2021. Unfortunately, funding earmarked for the installation from the Bronx Borough president's office was withdrawn due to city budget constraints.                                                                                                                                                                                                              Tax deductible contributions to help to realize this project are appreciated.

BIRDLINK is a scaleable, replicable network of living habitat sculptures--vertical meadows of native plants. It supports migratory birds that disperse seeds that maintain and expand ecosystems and maintain wildlife corridors, while alerting people to the challenges facing bird populations specifically, and biodiversity in general.

• One million plant species face extinction risks --The 2019 UN Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
•  Two-thirds of North American birds are at increasing risk of extinction from global temperature rise. -- Audubon Science
• Insect populations are declining
• Habitat loss in cities = lack of greenspace for people
