This year, join BGI gardeners in keeping the greenways green! Learn invasive plant management and about the benefits of native perennials and street trees as we steward the Greenway! See the impact this work has! As a non-profit organization we operate the Naval Cemetery Landscape to showcase the impact of well-maintained green space along pedestrian and cyclist pathways, on both community members’ wellness and biodiversity of other species. We’ll train volunteers on aspects of the care of the NCL and advocate for that level of care on the NYC’s greenways with a focus on expanding seasonal stewardship to the greenways adjacent to the NCL area.
We’ll post dates for the year in early spring. Registration is required for each event and events will be listed on our events page and calendar.
Full schedule for rest of season coming soon.
Volunteer Requirements:
- We are looking for those who can work outside in various weather conditions.
- Age 18+
- Available May – November, first and third Saturdays of the month
