Corporate volunteers spend the morning gardening in Tompkins Square Park.
Spend a morning volunteering in downtown Manhattan’s green spaces to foster team building, community service, and environmental stewardship. Volunteers work alongside LES Ecology staff to rejuvenate gardens and beautify public spaces. Activities include tending to garden beds, weeding, removing litter, applying mulch, painting benches or fences, planting ground cover, planting flower bulbs, and raking leaves. This work supports LES Ecology’s long-term stewardship of public open space and our effort to maintain a vibrant, ecologically healthy space for the community to enjoy.
