What is Greentopia?
Green Visions
High Falls Park & EcoDistrict
High Falls Park, now a project of ROC the Riverway, will use the existing EcoDistrict as its core. The High Falls EcoDistrict is the First Registered EcoDistrict in the State of New York and serves as a conceptual FRAMEWORK to reimagine our community. Greentopia is also working to expand the current EcoDistrict to the entire footprint of ROC the Riverway improvements.

Opportunity still blooms in a wet summer

Good morning GreenTopia supporters! With the weather staying somewhat on track we are excited to star our 2020 Green Visions program on June 15th!
There are a ton of changes coming this year in addition to the physical appearance of our campus! We are looking to start planning and prepping year round programming for the community we serve once we have completed remodeling of 188 Whitney.
With changes there’s always set backs. Corona Virus has been a major set back for us the year resulting in the canceling of our annual fundraiser Dinner on the Bridge. With out main source of program funding gone, we are relying heavily on grants and personal donors.
Have you seen a grant the Green Visions should be pursuing? Let us know in the comments! As always, donations can be made at greentopia.org
