“As one of the organizations partnering with CA on Earth Day, we are thrilled to have the dedicated and talented people from CA join us and Concrete Safaris at ‘Mad Fun Farm’ in East Harlem, New York City’s first student-designed urban farm, to help build raised planting beds and plant seeds, shrubs and flowers,” said Peter H. Kostmayer, president, Citizens Committee for New York City. “Environmental responsibility is everyone’s responsibility. It’s terrific to have a company like CA join us in improving our community while also serving as role models by working side by side with the local neighborhood kids in Harlem.”
