Daffodil Project Planting @ The New Springville Greenway
Join NYC Parks Department and Freshkills Park Alliance staff with United Activities Unlimited (UAU) in honoring the 20th annual observance of the attacks on 9/11 through a day of service. As part of NY4Parks Daffodil Project, the largest volunteer effort in NYC history, we will plant Daffodil bulbs and contribute to a living memorial in remembrance of the victims of 9/11.
The memorial project will begin at the corner of Signs Road and Park Drive North. Volunteers will work together to support an entrance garden, which contains a variety of native and ornamental plants, learn about the impact of environmental stewardship, and the history of the Freshkills Park project.
