Join NYC Parks and The Forest Park Trust this summer to engage in hands-on restoration work in our natural areas! Volunteers will learn some plant identification and take part in some invasive species removal.

Advance registration is required. All gloves and tools will be provided. We recommend volunteers come prepared to get dirty with long pants, sturdy, closed toe shoes and to bring a water bottle.
