Volunteer with the NYC Parks Stewardship Team for City of Forest Day across New York City! Join NYC Parks in Idlewild Park as we celebrate our love of NYC’s urban forest and help steward the land. Volunteers will contribute to ongoing restoration work and learn the importance of species diversity to ecosystem health. Come dressed in sturdy boots or shoes, long sleeves, long pants, and clothing that can get dirty. Face masks may be worn at your discretion. Space is limited and registration is required. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by a chaperone. This event has been funded in part by NOAA. To sign up a group of 10 or more volunteers please reach out to stewardship@parks.nyc.gov.
