This week, I am joined by Max Lerner, director of the Emerging Technologies team at the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation and founder of GROW (Green Revitalization Outreach Workforce) Externships, to discuss his upbringing in New York City, how he cultivated his love for nature, his decades of experience developing green roofs and urban farms, how his passion for technology led him to establish NYC Parks’ Emerging Tech team, how it grew to a think tank of over a 100 scientific visionaries, and his commitment to educating the green professionals of the future through innovative externships abroad.
