Come enjoy the crisp air in Astoria Park for a few hours during one of our Saturday Leaf Fest events. Team with up with fellow community volunteers as we rake and collect leaves to be efficiently made into compost that support city-wide trees.
Collected leaves will be composted and eventually return to help enrich the soil of Astoria Park and other NYC Parks.
Meet up at the Field House near the Astoria Park track.
Astoria Park Alliance will provide gloves, tools, and training. Treats likely to be provided. Please come in closed-toe shoes, ready to work outdoors.
Face masks, work clothes and closed toe shoes required. We recommend that volunteers wear sunblock and bug spray. Please bring water, travel light and leave valuables at home. Tools and gloves will be provided.
