Mayor Adams Promised 20,000 Trees a Year. But Budget Cuts Threaten Progress

A staff of just 302 people tend to a crop of over 865,000 trees across the city. Adams’ preliminary budget aims to slash $46 million from the Parks Department, which environmentalists fear signals a step back in the mayor’s promise to keep New York City’s canopy alive and growing.

Amid Inflation and Increased Demand, Human Services Workers Struggle with Burnout

Citywide, workers at nonprofits under contract to provide support and essential services to New Yorkers at a time of unprecedented crisis say they feel overworked, overwhelmed and burnt out.
