You’re invited to our Microforest Kickoff Celebr

You’re invited to our Microforest Kickoff Celebration at Housing Authority of the City of Elizabeth (HACE)'s Kennedy Arms Apartments in partnership with @groundworkelizabeth! 🌳 Join us on Friday, September 29 at 10 a.m. at 70 Westfield Ave in Elizabeth as we celebrate and promote environmental justice through climate preparedness and land restoration. RSVP here: bit.ly/Microforest-Kickoff-Celebration

Microforests benefit underserved communities. According to @nytimes, microforests “trace their lineage to the Japanese botanist and plant ecologist Akira Miyawaki, who in 2006 won the Blue Planet Prize, considered the environmental equivalent of a Nobel award, for his method of creating fast-growing native forests.”

This microforest at Kennedy Arms is the second of four that will be made possible by a @groundwork_usa Climate Preparedness Land Restoration Grant using the Miyawaki method developed in Japan as a guide. Groundwork Elizabeth's first microforest is located behind the Elmora Public Library on West Grand Street and is the first of its kind in the state! Groundwork Elizabeth and HACE would like to thank the @njconservation, @keanuniversity, and the @cityofelizabeth for partnering with us on these microforests in Elizabeth.

Thank you for joining us at the HACE & Michael Foods Community Food Drive! It was a warm November day for residents to come out for food supplies and job opportunities. Michael Foods was able to interview dozens of candidates for immediate employment! Mayor Chris Bollwage also visited to learn more about the various employment opportunities being offered to city residents.

One such jobseeker and Mravlag Manor resident, Ahmid Belin, was excited to share about his experience at the event, “I was looking for a job and I’m really grateful for this event, hopefully it will match the hours I’m looking for but I’m very grateful. Sounds like a good opportunity for all of us.” Read more about the event on our website: Link in bio.
