Founded in 2002 by former NYC Parks Commissioner and Councilman-at-large Henry Stern, New York Civic is one of the youngest nonpartisan, nonprofit good government groups in the five boroughs. Our mission is to educate and engage the public about issues of importance to all New Yorkers.

As a public policy think tank, New York Civic has published hundreds of articles aimed at making our government more honest and efficient. Through public events, media outreach and social networking, we seek to build a community of concerned citizens motivated to change City Hall and Albany for the better.

Follow NYCivic on Twitter and Facebook and visit our website for more information.

Yesterday morning on Live with Regis and Kelly, Bronx-native Regis Philbin read New York Civic’s article about saving the Pelham Parkway trees live on air, and announced that he supported our fight. Thanks, Regis!

The Pelham Parkway Preservation Alliance, founded by Dr. George Zulch, Joseph Menta and David Varenne, is the ad hoc neighborhood group that has led the effort to preserve the trees. You can support the Alliance by joining their Facebook fan page. You could also email the Alliance at treestosave@yahoo.com or call (914) 419-9552 for more information.
