Woodland Community Volunteer Workday

Join Wave Hill staff in the Herbert and Hyonja Abrons Woodland to celebrate Earth Day! Volunteers will learn about the importance of urban forests while lending a hand managing invasive species. Gain first-hand knowledge of ecological practices and get your hands dirty while applying them alongside our staff experts. Tasks may include pulling invasive garlic mustard, planting native plants or clearing pathways. Please dress appropriately: long pants, layered clothing and sturdy shoes are required. Gloves and tools provided.

This program is appropriate for adults 16 and older as hand tools will be used. Under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. For community groups interested in volunteering please contact Saran Adkinson at saran.adkinson@wavehill.org. For corporate volunteer opportunities please contact Carolyn Liv at carolynl@wavehill.org.

Registration is not required for this drop-in event. Questions? Please email us at information@wavehill.org or call 718.549.3200 x251.

The Community Woodland Workday will occur in a woodland setting with mixed-material pathways, varying elevations and possible off-pathway trip hazards. Activities require standing, bending down, and carrying items through a woodland setting.
