I Love My Park Day!
Volunteer for I Love My Park Day at College Hill Park (149 North Clinton Street, Poughkeepsie, NY)! I Love My Park Day, held the first Saturday in May, attracts thousands of volunteers from across the state to participate in cleanup, improvement, and beautification events at New York State parks and historic sites. Join us to celebrate New York’s park system by cleaning up park lands and beaches, planting trees and gardens, restoring trail and wildlife habitat, removing invasive species, and working on various site improvement projects.
Help with park clean up, clearing paths, trash pick up, and garden maintenance of the Lown Memorial Rock Garden (a beautiful pollinator garden)! Please bring garden gloves if you have them. Contact Lkopa-guest@vassar.edu with any questions.
