Mine Kill State Park will host volunteers as part of more than 100 cleanup, improvement and beautification events happening statewide this Saturday, May 4.
I Love My Park Day is a statewide event to improve and enhance New York’s state parks and historic sites and bring visibility to the entire state park system and its needs.
Volunteers will celebrate New York’s state park system by cleaning up park lands and beaches, planting trees and gardens, restoring trails and wildlife habitat, removing invasive species, and working on various site improvement projects.
At this event, volunteers will register and split up into groups at 9am.
The groups will be undertaking trail clean up, planting flowers, cleaning up pollinator gardens, and painting.
Afterwards, volunteers will be treated to a barbeque lunch courtesy of Stewarts Shops and Mine Kill staff.
Those interested in volunteering in the project at Mine Kill State Park can register to volunteer by visiting www.ptny.org/ilovemypark before the start of the event.
