Welcome to the

Windsor Terrace Greenway Project in Brooklyn

Our aim is to encourage residents in the Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn area to plant butterfly and bird friendly plants to support travel for birds and butterflies between Prospect Park and Greenwood Cemetery.

We provide residents with information about planting backyards, decks and windowsills so that these beautiful creatures will have "rest stops" between these two habitats.
