FIG Plants 4,000 Bulbs for Battery Park
Oppenheimer's Financial Institutions Group (FIG) Investment Banking Team plants over 4,000 bulbs as part of a significant Battery Park renovation in lower Manhattan.
Recently, Oppenheimer's FIG team volunteered through The Battery Conservatory to aid in the landscaping efforts of a newly designed children's play area at Battery Park. A not-for-profit organization, The Battery Conservancy was established in 1994 to rebuild and update The Battery following a period of decline in the late 20th century. The conservancy works to enhance the area with a renewed vision for New York's first waterfront park.

There is no better way to celebrate the growth, momentum and success of the Financial Institutions Group than by helping the community. As Horace Mann said, 'Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves.'

This planned 1.4-acre landscape was designed in response to Hurricane Sandy to withstand storm water surge. Its five ecology zones - Bluff, Marsh, Riverbed, Dune and Meadow - will surround multiple playground areas for New York City's children. As part of this initiative, Oppenheimer also made a donation to support further development of the park.
The team planted over 4,000 flower bulbs and is looking forward to watching them bloom in the spring, during which this area of the park will near completion.
