NYC Parks Stewardship’s mission is to protect, restore, expand, and manage New York Citys green spaces and natural areas to maximize their benefits for environmental and community health and resilience. NYC Parks is investing in the future and we need your help. Our volunteers help with forest and wetland restoration, planting and pruning street trees, harvesting and propagating native seed and monitoring local wildlife. By becoming a steward of NYCs green spaces, you can help ensure that our citys natural resources are kept safe for future generations.
