NYC Parks Stewardship events are a must-try for anyone living in the five boroughs who enjoys getting outside and back to nature. Instead of driving 2+ hours north to go for a hike, try seeing the parks in your neighborhood from a whole new perspective. Work off-trail to learn about and remove invasives, meet likeminded people, get out some of that pent up energy. I love this initiative.

This was a great initiative. The fact that it was in my neighborhood made it even more special.
I got an opportunity to assist with a cleanup of the Canarsie coastline and met some awesome people.
My 2017 goal is to be more and do more...this was a start for me. Thanks for the opportunity.
