Gantry Park Friends Group Get Granted

The Long Island City based volunteer group, Friends of Gantry Plaza State Park, (FriendsofGantry.org) is recipient of one of 11 Parks & Trails New York (PTNY) Capacity Building Grants.

These grants, totaling more than $18,000 were awarded recently by the statewide advocacy group Parks & Trails New York to not-for-profit park and trail organizations. The Friends will use the funds to increase organizational visibility, generate community support, grow membership, and attract additional volunteers. In addition to working in Gantry Plaza State Park, the Friends group (a/k/a Friends of Gantry Neighborhood Parks at Hunters Point) continues to work with city parks, greenstreets and street trees.
