    Gateway National Recreation Area Headquarters Staten Island, New York June 2003 CLIMATE FRIENDLY PARKS FRAMEWORK FOR LOCAL ACTION PLANNING Produced by the NPS Environmental Leadership Program, with technical assistance from EPA’s Global Change Information Branch and NPS’s Natural Resources Stewardship and Science Division. This Document Reports the Accomplishments of Gateway National Recreation Area (NRA) staff who participated in NPS’s first Climate Friendly Parks Workshop in June 2003. Gateway staff developed the following Framework for Local Action Planning, which outlines park-wide goals and strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The approaches provided in the Framework are intended to serve as an example for each of Gateway NRA’s three management units when they devise unit-specific strategies for meeting park-wide goals. The Framework proposes reducing greenhouse gases through increased awareness about climate change and management of transportation, buildings and facilities, grounds and lands, and waste.

  • HUD FY2011 Sustainable Communities Grantees
    HUD FY2011 Sustainable Communities Grantees Arkansas The East Arkansas Planning and Development District will be awarded $2,600,000 to develop an East Arkansas Regional Planning Consortium Sustainability Plan. This effort will support a community and multijurisdictional planning effort that integrates housing, land use, economic development, transportation and infrastructure investments. The project will assist area jurisdictions and the region in addressing challenges that are interrelated but are often not addressed comprehensively, including such challenges as revitalization, access to jobs, education and services, energy and other resource conservation and environmental impact. This three-year project will begin with a substantial community outreach component that will be supported by the development of a regional inventory of underutilized assets enhanced by digital modeling tools to help communities envision the greater outcomes such assets can provide as strategies are implemented. Anticipated Project Benefits: Regional studies will be integrated into this process addressing issues including housing, transportation, water infrastructure, energy, local food, and access to each of these. Collection and management of data will be carried out to ensure decisions are well-informed and communicated across all jurisdictions. The Arkansas Development Finance Authority will use the housing element of this project for inclusion into the broader statewide housing market analysis and needs assessment to provide the required planning and documentation for applying for other non-federal entitlement, federal competitive, and foundation/private funds. Funding Amount: $2,600,000 Core Partners: Life Options of Eastern Arkansas, Crossroads Coalition, NE Arkansas Coalition, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Arkansas State University, Five Community Colleges, JQuad Planning Group HUD Region: 6 Metroplan will be awarded $1,400,000 to develop Metro 2040: Blueprint for a Sustainable Region in order to create a regional sustainability plan for the Central Arkansas region.

  • Youth Suicide Report a Data Overview Report on Youth Suicide in New Jersey
    NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES 2014 Youth Suicide Report A Data Overview Report on Youth Suicide in New Jersey November 2014 Allison Blake, Ph.D., L.S.W. Commissioner Youth Suicide Report 2014 Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy and the New Jersey Department of Children and Families (DCF) is committed to decreasing youth suicide. The 2014 Youth Suicide Data Report focuses on youth suicide and suicide attempts for New Jersey youth from age 10 to 24. Compared to the national rate, New Jersey continues to have a lower rate of suicide. Nevertheless, one life lost to suicide is one too many. New Jersey has consistently been a leader among states in addressing suicide, conducting public awareness efforts and educating and training direct service providers and the community. Continuously enhancing the quality of services to even more effectively reduce youth suicide, DCF relies significantly on data. Several data systems and surveys are employed to collect and analyze data, which informs recommendations for legislative and regulatory action. In addition, data guides DCF’s suicide prevention and intervention programming. Through a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the New Jersey Department of Health, New Jersey is one of 18 states participating in the National Violent Death Reporting System, a central registry for data related to violent deaths, including suicides. The New Jersey Department of Education participates in CDC’s national Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS). As part of the surveillance system, information collected in the New Jersey Student Health Survey addresses the prevalence of behaviors that are highly related to the causes of preventable premature illness and death among youth and young adults, including suicide.

Its location at the mouth of the Passaic River has made the city’s waterfront an integral part of the Port of New York and New Jersey. Divided into five political wards, Newark contains neighborhoods ranging in character from bustling urban districts to quiet suburban enclaves. Newark’s Branch Brook Park is the oldest county park in the United States and is home to the nation’s largest collection of cherry blossom trees, numbering over 5,000.
