On a cold and rainy May 7 Saturday morning, Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney ,
Four Freedoms Park Conservancy CEO Howard Axel, NY State Parks Department Commissioner Erik Kulleseid ,
Woolrich Outdoors Foundation representative Allesandro Villa and Parks & Trails NY Director of Development Linden Horvath joined with a group volunteers at FDR
Four Freedoms Park to celebrate I Love My Park Day by
assembling 50 Adirondack Chairs
to be placed on the park’s Great Lawn for visitors to enjoy thru May and maybe
longer.
According to Parks & Trails NY:
I Love My Park Day, held the first Saturday in May, attracts thousands of
volunteers from across the state to participate in cleanup, improvement, and
beautification events at New York State parks, historic sites and public
lands. Join us to celebrate New York’s park system and prepare our public
lands for spring by cleaning up park lands and beaches, planting trees and
gardens, restoring trail and wildlife habitat, removing invasive species, and
working on various site improvement projects
A rainy Saturday wont stop Roosevelt Islanders from coming out and beautifying our parks and green spaces.
I loved joining NYS Parks Commissioner and CEO of Four Freedoms Park Conservancy Howard Axel for Love Your Parks Day. pic.twitter.com/5cIrCyAdug
