Volunteer with the Stewardship Team to help maintain our nature trails at Marine Park, Brooklyn. Trails provide access to the forest, but poorly maintained trails can be an eyesore to visitors and cause hazardous conditions. Help us remove invasive flora from the trail to keep it neat and clean for everyone to enjoy. Everyone will be trained in invasive removal techniques and plant identification on site. Come dressed in sturdy boots, long pants, and clothing that can get dirty.
