June 30, 2017 (NEW YORK) – Proskauer’s New York and New Jersey summer associates spent a day of service at GrowNYC’s urban farm located at Governors Island.
GrowNYC is a sustainability resource for New Yorkers that seeks to improve the city’s quality of life through environmental programs that transform communities and secure clean and healthy environments for future generations.
Some highlights of the work completed by our 42 volunteers includes weeding 75 garden beds, sanding and painting 21 garden benches and digging the foundation for a 600 square foot rain garden.
Camden McRae, one of the Firm’s New York summer associates, said, “Our service project at Governors Island was a great way to spend more time with the other summer associates while helping a great organization.”
