SUMMARY:Volunteer at the Compost Compound!
DESCRIPTION:Join us in supporting our Sustainability Team with compost proc
 essing and gardening work at the 95th Street Compost Compound! \nThe compo
 st that is currently in progress at our site is created right here in Rive
 rside Park. We utilize machinery for the composting work\, and when the co
 mpost is ready it will be applied to soil in the Park\, thus retaining nut
 rients from the debris that enters the site and closing the loop. \nFor ex
 isting volunteers: Please sign up through the Grassroots Volunteer Portal.
 \nFor new volunteers: Please email grassroots@riversideparknyc.org for inf
 ormation about how to get involved. \n\n\n\nThis event is not suitable for
  corporate groups! If you are a corporate group\, please email caroline@ri
 versideparknyc.org to set up a project. \n\n\n\nAbout the 95th Street Comp
 ost Compound\nOur state-of-the-art Compost Compound is the processing cent
 er for debris and materials produced in the process of maintaining Riversi
 de Parks landscape. Conservancy staff use the Compost Compound to drop off
  woody debris\, leaves\, weeds\, and invasive plants that they have remove
 d from other areas of the Park. We then process these materials on-site by
  composting. The compost is then incorporated back into the Parks soil. By
  retaining all of the weeds\, twigs\, and branches and composting them\, w
 e are  closing the loop. The Compost Compound successfully diverts hundred
 s of cubic yards of plant material from ending up in a landfill and reduce
 s the need for carting ' thereby reducing emissions involved in transporti
 ng the material off site.

SUMMARY:Goat Herding Orientation
DESCRIPTION:Since 2019\, Riverside Park Conservancy has brought a herd of g
 oats to our Bird Sanctuary\, to create Goatham ' a hard-to-access area in 
 the northern part of the Park. The goats take up residency for the summer 
 on sloped terrain that is rife with invasive plants. Since goats are natur
 ally effective weed whackers\, putting them to work in Goatham is like tre
 ating them to an all-you-can-eat buffet. Its hearty for the goats and good
  for the environment. \nThis year\, for the second season\, theyll be work
 ing in the forested area from 143rd-145th Streets\, as their work in the B
 ird Sanctuary was completed. \nVolunteers are an essential part of this pr
 ogram. Each evening\, the goats need to be enclosed in a shelter. Our staf
 f will let them out first thing in the morning\, but we need volunteers to
  help us herd the goats in the evening\, and more! \nIf you think this opp
 ortunity is right for you\, please plan to attend one of our upcoming orie
 ntations by filling out this survey. The survey includes additional detail
 s about the different Goatham volunteer opportunities. \nFor questions\, p
 lease reach out to grassroots@riversideparknyc.org.
