French-American School of New York - Greens To Green Conservancy

Greens To Green Conservancy

Greens to Green Conservancy is an effort by FASNY to create 84 acres of publicly accessible nature preserve in White Plains at the site of former Ridgeway Country Club . The school wants to establish its White Plains campus in 46 acres and set the remaining 84 acres for the nature preserve. The proposal has come under fire from Gedney Farms Association who claim that setting up the school and preserve would lead to layoffs of city workers, lower property values and doubling of White Plains peak hour traffic. FASNY denies the claims.

Famous quotes containing the words greens and/or green:

    “Go on, high ship, since now, upon the shore,
    The snake has left its skin upon the floor.
    Key West sank downward under massive clouds
    And silvers and greens spread over the sea. The moon
    Is at the mast-head and the past is dead.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Gray, dear friend, is all theory,
    But green the golden tree of life.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
