Pelham Bay Park work day on July 26th

Come remove invasive plant species in Pelham Bay Park on July 26th from 9 am to 12 pm (You are invited to bring a picnic lunch for after).

Pelham Bay Park is a beautiful oasis of woods and coastal wetlands. Unfortunately it is being degraded by various invasive plant species.

Work gloves and tools will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. As always, summer outdoors can mean exposure to sun, poison ivy, ticks, and mosquitoes, so we highly recommend a broad brimmed hat, long sleeve shirt and pants, and of course sturdy shoes. Use bug spray and sun screen at your own discretion.

We will be meeting in the Southern Zone of Pelham Bay Park at the parking lot off Middletown Rd. The meeting place is easily reached by car from the Country Club/Pelham Bay Park exit of I -95 (northbound only!) or by public transportation. Take the 6 subway train or 12 bus to the Pelham Bay station, or check the internet for other options.

Please RSVP for this event at earthtenders@gmail.com and feel free to bring friends. You can reach David Burg at (917)846-8300 if you have further questions.
