Woodland Community Volunteer Workday

Join Wave Hill staff in the Herbert and Hyonja Abrons Woodland to celebrate City of Forest Day! Volunteers will learn about the importance of urban forests while lending a hand in 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 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 and children under 18 accompanied by an adult. For community groups interested in volunteering please contact volunteer@wavehill.org. Registration required; free daily admission to all registered participants. Questions? Please email us at information@wavehill.org or call 718.549.3200 x251.  The Community Woodland Workday will occur in a woodland or meadow setting with mixed-material pathways, varying elevations and possible off-pathway trip hazards. Activities require standing, bending down, and carrying items.
