2025 Greenspace Report

Mrs. Betty Thompson has long been a force in New Haven, facilitating the very start of the Greenspace program. Her daughter Kenya has proven the same, inspiring the Cedar Hill and greater New Haven community through her work with the Parks department and her daily interactions with her neighbors. Ms. Betty Thompson and Kenya’s family are key constituents of the Cedar Hill emeritus group, still actively stewarding three sites in the neighborhood: the East Rock median; Betty’s tree; and the 219 sign. Each workday was spent at a different area, and many neighbors stopped by to help or drove by and expressed their appreciation of all the hard work that has been put into these greenspaces. As we work, we always share stories and laughter and our love for the people in our neighborhoods and the earth we live with.
