Introduction
The Bed-Stuy Community Mapping Project is a grassroots partnership between residents, volunteers and community-based organizations to identify and promote community gardens in Bedford Stuyvesant and educating local residents about the importance of urban agriculture and our local food system. This project also looks to support and highlight preservation initiatives and other among various stakeholders working to create a more verdant, just and sustainable community.
About this Map

The Bed-Stuy Community Mapping Project will culminate in October with a community event schedule to be held at Magnolia Tree Earth Center in late September or early October. DIVAS for Social Justice has agreed to help create the video mapping component for this project and the Brooklyn Food Coalition will host the map on their site. The time frame for the project:
March data collection,
April/May: orientation and collect stories,
June/July: editing
August: program; exhibition
September Community Mural Project

Media and TogetherGreen Video
The Bed-Stuy Community Mapping Project will also be working with the Audubon Society to create a short movie that details how our community mapping project is getting students and community members involved in conservation, and why mapping community gardens in Brooklyn in this way is important. They will be taping various events throughout the projects so folks will have a chance to learn more about the Audubon as well!
