Volunteer Landscaping @ Freshkills Park Studio + Gallery
Join the Freshkills Park Alliance and NYC Parks for a volunteer day at our Studio + Gallery off the New Springville Greenway and discover ways to support our open and natural areas! Ages 16+
We will work together to remove invasive species and debris, spread new soil, light pruning and more!
As per NYC Parks policy, volunteers must sign an activity waiver and will be required to show proof they have received two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or the one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in order to participate.
Location: We will meet at 9:00 AM in the parking lot next to 2240 Richmond Ave, Staten Island, NY 10314.
Plan Ahead: Wear long pants, close-toed shoes, and insect repellant. Also wear a hat and bring water and a snack. Tools, gloves, masks, and sanitizer will be provided. Do not attend if you are sick or have been exposed to COVID-19.
Cancellation: This project will be canceled if registration is too low, social distancing regulations change, or if there is a 60% or greater chance of rain, storms, or extreme heat on the day of the event.
You will find current information on NYC Parks safety guidelines here.
Can’t make it? You can still help by promoting our volunteer projects with your friends and neighbors. Students can receive credit for community service hours. We will also be adding more volunteer opportunities as the season continues. For more information about upcoming volunteer opportunities, check out our website: www.freshkillspark.org/volunteer
