Green Apple Ride

Green Map System's Downtown eco-tour explores the Garden District, greenways and riversides, composting, solar, and green building sites. Special guest speakers and surprises. Youth welcome! Tour guide: Wendy Brawer of the Green Apple Map.

The Green Apple Tour treats cyclists to a ride in East River Park. Waterfront expert (and Blue Apple Ride leader) Carter Craft talks about the greenway.

The Green Apple Tour rolls on the Hudson River Greenway.

The tour visits several gardens, including the student-designed Lower East Side Park, and renewable energy sites, including the Solar1 center.

Some Green Apple Tours have special themes. The 2003 ride focused on Composting. This picture shows the bike Steve uses to transport compostable waste from the East Village Food Coöp.
