Laura Robinson, Programs Director of Landscape Design + Environmental Resilience, gives speech to crowd at High Light Network's Policy Lab titled “Climate Resilience through Collective Action.”

Our team headed to NYC for the High Line Network’s Policy Lab, where this year’s focus was all about Rewilding the Built Environment — designing public spaces that support biodiversity, belonging, and climate resilience.

Highlight: Laura Robinson presented “Climate Resilience through Collective Action,” sharing NDC’s approach to community-driven ecological design.

From tours of the High Line + Bronx River to sessions with urban ecology leaders across North America, we walked away inspired and ready to bring new ideas home.
