NEW YORK, May 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The High Line, the organization that originally rallied for the elevated structure's preservation and reuse as public space, starting in 1999, and now operates it as a park under a license agreement with NYC Parks, today announces that an endowment gift from the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Foundation will support the High Line Teens program and its environmental sustainability curriculum.

Key Points: 
  • From April to September 2022, High Line Teen staff will visit seven public greenspaces across New York City to understand and assess each site's journey, focusing on issues around climate change and environmental justice.
  • This ecological-focused programming will continue into 2023 in different forms thanks to the support of the Diamonstein-Spielvogel Foundation.
  • As a Founding Board Member of the High Line, Dr. Diamonstein-Spielvogel helped fight against the demolition of the historic High Line structure and served on the joint committee of City and High Line representatives that selected the design team of James Corner Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro.
  • She spearheaded a government relations initiative that led to over $20 million in federal construction funding toward the High Line's adaptive reuse.
