Volunteer Landscaping @ Freshkills 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 18+
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.
