Yale Day of Service: NY, New York- Randall's Island Park Restoration
Randall’s Island Park Alliance is excited for the Yale Day of Service Alumni to partner for a volunteer project.
When: Saturday June 13th, from 9:30am to 12:30pm. Please arrive a few minutes early to sign in.
There is a food demonstration on the Urban Farm that day and we invite all volunteers to stay for that afterwards.
What to bring/wear: Dress depending on the weather, closed-toed shoes required, hat suggested, long pants suggested. Water will be available. Gloves, tools, hats and light snacks will be provided. Sun block and insect repellent are also available.
We Supply: Water, Gloves, Tools, Instruction and Light Snacks.
Project: Native Habitat Restoration -- Help us improve our 20 acres of restored natural areas. These habitats comprise wetlands, forests, and meadows. The natural areas provide essential wildlife habitat in New York City as well as important ecosystem services such as cooling, carbon sequestration, and climate resiliency. Teams will work to remove invasive species that can degrade the habitat and plant native species to support human and animal communities.
Where: We will meet at a location TBD, most likely our Urban Farm, which is located at 11 Wards Meadow Loop 10035 next to Fields 60-63 and Scylla Playground. If you take the M35 Bus from Harlem, get off at the Hell Gate Circle/Opp Odyssey House stop. We also have plenty of parking and our location is accessible by bicycle or Citi Bike.
Additional Info: All participants must sign a Waiver of Liability. Minors under 16 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please inform us if any accommodation is needed. Volunteer events run rain or shine unless the weather conditions are severe. Restrooms are available. We do not have storage for your bags so please try not to bring too many personal valuables.
Capacity Limit: Up to 20 volunteers. Please register by the end of the day Thursday June 11th.
