Help CPF continue our legacy of enriching and improving parks and communities across all five boroughs of New York City. CPF is a registered 501(c)(3) organization.
Pooper-scooper laws are essential for both the health and beautification of the community. Canine diseases and parasites are often shed in feces, which puts other dogs and children at risk. And no one enjoys maneuvering through unsightly piles of dog waste when out for a stroll. Pick up feces using a plastic bag, and knot the top to control odor and flies before disposing of it in a waste receptacle. Train your dog to urinate in gutters or on nonliving vertical surfaces, such as lampposts or hydrants. Avoid trees and flowerbeds.www.aspca.org /pet-care/dog-care/ urban-dog-etiquette
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was the first humane society to be established in North America and is, today, one of the largest in the world. The ASPCA organization was founded by Henry Bergh in 1866 on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans, and must be protected under the law. Headquartered in New York City, the ASPCA maintains a strong local presence, and with programs that extend our anti-cruelty mission across the country, we are recognized as a national animal welfare organization. We are a privately funded 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, and proud to boast more than 1 million supporters across the country.

What they found was that, even after adjusting for factors like unemployment and affluence, the areas that have the most trees along the streets also had fewer prescriptions for antidepressants. (Their results are reported in the journal Landscape and Urban Planning.)
“We can’t say that if you plant an extra 20 trees on every street, everyone will be fine and there will be no mental health issues,” says Taylor. “This is one more factor to consider. It does seem like people are happier when they have some access to this kind of thing.”

“Petition to protect the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus plexippus) under the
Endangered Species Act”
The general idea behind groundhog weather prognostication is simple: if the groundhog sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of wintry weather and if not, spring will come sooner rather than later. Groundhog Day originates from the folk belief in the predictive powers of the late–winter emergence of hibernating creatures, and the Pennsylvania Dutch are believed to have brought the tradition to America in the 18th century.
Groundhogs are rodents, like mice and rats, but are also related to other rodents such as chipmunks and squirrels. ...
