A former burial ground in Brooklyn becomes a public space whose design honors vets

The TKF Foundation is a 10-year-old private nonprofit that specializes in creating open, public sanctuaries. Since its founding, TKF has supported the creation of more than 130 Open Space Sacred Places in the Baltimore-Annapolis-Washington area alone. 

“We envision a time when every urban community in the U.S. will provide people with opportunities for intimate, intentional daily doses of nearby urban nature through the creation of a system of nature spaces,” says the Foundation’s mission statement.
