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 won’t 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.
