Join thousands of volunteers across the state on Saturday, May 4 at I Love My Park Day in Gantry Plaza State Park to kick off our Saturday volunteer days.

This year, volunteers will be helping with weeding and mulching beds throughout the park, spreading gravel in the dog runs, planting drought-tolerant annuals in the park's planters, and helping to apply wood sealant to benches. Volunteers will start at 9am in Gantry Plaza, and the event is open to all ages and experience levels, though working on the benches is restricted to people over 18 who have worked with sealants before.

This event is being run by New York State Parks in conjunction with Parks and Trails New York. You can sign up to volunteer here.
