Meet Carlos Olivares, Jersey City's Urban Community Forester at the next HPHA meeting on Thursday, February 5, 2026 7:30PM at Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church Community Room, 109 Grand Street. 

Our focus this month is sustainability in our neighborhood.  We’ll have an opportunity to learn about the Sustainability Division’s work and discuss ways to engage the city in advancing the HPHA’s sustainability goals. At our Visioning Night last April, planting more trees to increase JC’s tree canopy emerged as a top priority. As we begin to gather data on where trees are needed in Paulus Hook, Carlos can advise us on the role his division can play in our efforts. Please come with your ideas and questions about how to create a greener and more sustainable Paulus Hook.

 

Thanks to our donors and sponsors, who do so much to support our neighborhood events!
