Mission: Bring New Yorkers together to rewild NYC
Hello Mulchers! Andrea and Martina here, delivering some rewilding inspo to your inbox! Let’s get to it.
Community Spotlight
Thank you to everyone who was able to make it out to our Tea Under Trees event this weekend! It was such a blast getting to meet so many of you in person and make seed bombs together!

🤩 It’s Almost NYC Climate Week!
I look forward to this week in September every year. It’s full of energy and filled with opportunities to network, learn, and connect with folks working in the climate space from around the world. But, if I’m being honest, it’s also draining and exhausting. The city is packed, lots of streets are blocked, and its often hard to navigate the hundreds of things happening at the same time.
That’s why I created a mini-list of things to do for peace throughout the week, not just for myself, but for anyone who finds themselves seeking grounding and meaningful connection ☮️ 🍵
Go for a nature walk with Generation Environment: Join Generation Environment as they take to the trails in Central Park! This is a great way to connect with other like-minded people, learn about NYC’s plant life, and let all the hustle and bustle of Climate Week settle in your mind. Friday, Sept 26, 8:30am-11:30am.
Sip some tea at Paquita Tea House in the West Village: Pop in any time to sink into the calming ambiance, sip some tea, and remember you’re part of a bigger picture. Every day, 9am-8pm.
Paint a terracotta pot with Kinka NYC: When everything is fast-paced and intense, it’s important to take some time for creativity and laughter. Let loose and connect with your creative side! Thursday, Sept 25, 7:00pm.
NYC Climate Week Events We Want to Hit

Learn about Regenerative Landscapes with the Rockefeller Foundation and Regen House
Go on a Soil and Ag community walk/run at Pumphouse Park
