[CANCELED] PlacePartner Opportunity: The Sweet Spot at W 72nd-96th St

July 1 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am

[JULY 1 EVENT CANCELED]

Volunteer in the sweet spot of Riverside Park! This historic section of the park is home to majestic monuments, beautiful native plant gardens, hidden forests, and lovely river views. We’ll be working across this part of the park in various gardens and woodland areas doing weeding, mulching, pruning, and ecological restoration. The meeting location will rotate each week; exact location will be shared upon signup.

PlacePartner Opportunities are weekly/monthly occasions for volunteers to work alongside our field staff and ParkTenders. We will provide all the tools you need – please bring water to stay hydrated. Please wear weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toed shoes.

Please note that volunteers under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.
