A MESSAGE FROM Zahra
I’m fundraising with NYRR Team for Climate to help reduce the Carbon Footprint of the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon. Your full donation will go toward the purchase of carbon offsets from Anew Climate! Please consider donating to help me run in support of NYRR on its journey toward Net Zero by 2040. For more information on this initiative, please visit nyrr.org/teamforclimate.
Your donations will go towards:
- The Hartwood Forestry Project, across 6,000-plus acres of forestland in southern New York State, will achieve greenhouse gas reductions through the natural growth of forestland that would otherwise be cut, resulting in both carbon removal and carbon avoidance credits. The project will improve wildlife habitats, protect water quality of streams, and enhance forest recreation and education.
- The Eagle Mountain Forestry Project, across 6,000-plus acres of forestland spanning New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine will also achieve greenhouse gas reductions through the natural growth of forestland that would otherwise be cut, resulting in both carbon removal and carbon avoidance credits. The project manages the forestland – used as wilderness preserve sanctuaries – for natural growth with no current/future commercial harvesting or urbanization. The sanctuaries are used for low-impact recreation, such as sightseeing, hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. NYRR will encourage local members to visit the preserves to enjoy trail walks and runs.
