“While we teach, we learn.” Such valuable content, let’s connect if you’re interested in any joining educational opportunities or presenting!

Was just reading the foreword by Doug Tallamy...WOW! Here's a small sample... “Every once in a while, a book comes along that meets an important need most people don’t know they have. Sarah Jayne’s Nature’s Action Guide is such a book. Sarah could have called her book Conservation for Dummies—not that she wrote it for true dummies, but because she has identified a subject everyone needs to know but almost no one was ever taught: how to share our spaces with the natural world.” … “Sarah wrote Nature’s Action Guide as a complement to my book Nature’s Best Hope. My last chapter suggested 10 things homeowners could/should do to help share their property with nature. After reading my book, Sarah set about trying to enact each of these suggestions in her own yard but quickly realized that, even as an experienced gardener, she didn’t know enough to be successful. And if she didn’t know enough, many other budding conservationists were likely to struggle as well. Sarah’s solution was to write Nature’s Action Guide, a step-by-step, easy to use manual that explains how each of us, regardless of our background or gardening experience, can accomplish all of the goals I propose in Nature’s Best Hope, as well as several I only hinted at! Restoration biology is a relatively young scientific discipline a few decades old. Practicing restoration in human-dominated landscapes, in comparison, is in its infancy and we are still learning what works and what doesn’t work. One of its many distinguishing features is that Nature’s Action Guide is current, explaining state-of-the-art conservation in suburbia with the most up-to-date best-practices available. Even a half-hearted attempt to follow Sarah’s action items is guaranteed to improve the biodiversity potential of your landscape and thus the productivity of your local ecosystem. For this, we all owe Sarah Jayne our heartfelt thanks and gratitude—because, whether we appreciate it or not, we all depend on those same ecosystems.” Douglas W. Tallamy

Sam Hosmer - Summer Intern, The New York Landmarks Conservancy As we continue to celebrate our 50th anniversary we are highlighting a video series called "I am Preservation" to exhibit the widespread love of landmarks throughout the City. People from many neighborhoods have filmed short clips expressing how they represent preservation. Please join in the celebration and send us your video. We will post clips throughout the rest of the year on our many social media platforms. TIPS for making your own "I am Preservation" video. Say your name, and if you like, the neighborhood that you live in. Briefly comment on what you love about New York City landmarks or a specific historic building, place, or structure. And, finish by saying “I am Preservation!” Film in landscape mode (hold smartphone horizontally) If you can’t film yourself, maybe have a friend film you in front of a landmark or your favorite historic building or structure. Be aware of your surroundings (street-level noise, etc.) Check your lighting. If possible, you don’t want to be in an area that is too dark or too bright. Set up your shot (minimize things that might be distracting on screen) We are looking for short clips. Thirty seconds at maximum. Make eye contact, don’t forget to smile. Speak up and enunciate your words. We want viewers to hear you. Send your finished video clips to photos@nylandmarks.org Have fun!

This is so Profound.

Broaden the knowledge in human resources areas in the view of legal and administration related, which requires precision, diligence, and commitment. Understanding these are important for ensuring compliance and fostering successful workplace. Learning about the legal terms, which I rarely encounter, is challenging but rewarding. Thank you, Kak Putri Aprilia A., for the extensive materials, crystal clear and easy to catch. Looking forward the next material recap! Bootcamp by Tempat Belajar

As a #founder, you continuously push forward. Once you have solved one problem, three new ones await you. 🤹 Sometimes, it feels like a never-ending story. But it is also like oxygen and keeps us (or at least me) going. 💪 The desire to make a change, have an impact, fix something broken, etc, is a gift and a curse at the same time. As a founder, it is important to pause sometimes and reflect on where you are and what you have achieved. I wish I were better at that. 🤔 Do you happen to have any tips on how I can improve this ability? #startuplife #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #entrepreneurship

As a board member, seeing progress and positive growth in the mission is always satisfying.
