Westchester Parks Foundation is getting ready for its largest volunteer event of the year. Started in the late 90’s, Pitch in for Parks is the largest multi-day volunteer event that helps get parks ready for peak season. The event kicked off today on Earth Day April 22 at Lenoir Preserve in Yonkers and culminates this Saturday, April 26 at several Westchester County Parks. The annual event, held in partnership with the Westchester County Parks Department, will take place throughout Westchester County Parks. Projects for volunteers, working as individuals, families, corporations, local businesses, or groups, will be held at larger sites including the Bronx River Reservation at Westchester County Center, White Plains; Croton Point Park in Croton-on-Hudson; Glen Island Park, New Rochelle; Tibbetts Brook Park, Yonkers along with smaller parks throughout the week.
Pre-registration is encouraged to participate. All tools will be provided, and volunteers should wear clothes that can get dirty and closed toe shoes. For more information on how to volunteer for Pitch in for Parks, visit https://www.thewpf.org/volunteerwithus
