Volunteer for a NYC Parks Stewardship Event
Volunteers can join tree and shrub plantings, invasive plant removal, and trail restoration events across parks in every borough, with events posted regularly throughout the year on the Parks Department site. It is one of the easiest ways to find a drop-in outdoor project close to home no matter which borough you are in.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
