Christine Foreman
Bronx, New York
Christine Foreman founded the Seton Falls Park Preservation Coalition in 1992 in opposition to a proposal to pave over this 39-acre park in the Eastchester section of The Bronx. Since that initial victory, the Coalition has worked with various groups and government agencies to restore the park to its former natural grandeur, increase educational opportunities
and revitalize its ecosystems and habitat. The Coalition secured government grants to restore the park?’s marshlands, forest and waterfall. In addition, the Coalition was able to obtain grants to refurbish the park?’s playgrounds.
