New Opportunities to Volunteer in NYC Parks
Over the past two days, more than 2,500 volunteers have turned out at parks and playgrounds across the City to support the clean-up effort. And volunteers have come ready to work! Over the course of six hours, volunteers collected almost 10,000 bags of debris, filled dozens of truck beds and dump trucks, cut up broken tree limbs and raked up leaves and compost.
In Prospect Park alone, volunteers raked an estimated 750,000 sq. ft. of parkland, and at Riverside Park, volunteers even showed up with boxes of garbage bags to donate to the clean-up effort. By all reports, the spirit and dedication of volunteers has been amazing, and has done so much to boast the morale of NYC Parks staff who have been working around the clock for days.
Please check out these new opportunities to volunteer tomorrow, and sign up at www.nycservice.org.
