Volunteer with us Monday April 7th from 10am-12:30pm at Starlight Park (1490 Sheridan Blvd, Bronx, NY 10459) & help steward the Bronx River! We will be cleaning up litter to prevent it from entering the Bronx River.
Your efforts not only protect wildlife & the rest of the Bronx River ecosystem, but they also help us identify the sources of trash so we can stop the pollution where it starts!
We will provide all tools needed for collecting the trash!
