Broadmoor - Old Algiers Reforestation Innitiative

Broadmoor Improvement Association is a non-profit neighborhood organization that serves those who live, work, and play in our community through a coordinated network of anchor institutions, faith-based partners, and businesses. Founded in 1930, the BIA has grown with New Orleans to preserve the diverse culture and voices that form the core of Broadmoor’s identity. We strive to redefine what it means to be a neighborhood association by living the values that bring us together and celebrate our diversity.

  Since its founding more than 25 years ago, Old Algiers Main Street Corporation has worked to improve the Old Algiers community. Its most recent project is #EquityRising, an equity-based program that offers skills and career training for 16–40-year-olds to provide them the opportunity to obtain well-paying jobs in high demand industries. It is geographically focused in the 70114  zip code to provide training and jobs to those residing in the Whitney, McDonogh and Algiers Point neighborhoods, and to support current and potential small businesses. 

 The Department of Parks and Parkways manages over 2,000 acres of public parks, squares, recreation areas, neutral grounds, a golf course, and more across New Orleans. These community spaces see over 13 million visits yearly for enjoyment, events, exercise, and neighborhood gatherings. Over 150,000 street trees also line roadways to enhance quality of life.

Preserving green spaces remains vital for connecting people and enhancing livability as our city grows. We nurture these invaluable community assets so their beauty, memories, and experiences resonate for generations.
