2020 Pitch In For Parks
Each year, Westchester Parks Foundation and the Westchester County Parks Department host Pitch in for Parks. It is their largest one-day volunteer program that usually falls around Earth Day, but this year volunteers are going to "Pitch In" in October! Volunteers will paint, rake, prepare and plant flower beds, clear trails and shorelines, restore wildlife habitats, and remove invasive vines from trees. Join in this community effort and help clean up one of Westchester's most valuable assets!
