I Love My Park Day 2021 at Hallock State Park Preserve

"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 and historic sites. Join us to celebrate New York's park system 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

I Love My Park Day—the largest single-day volunteer event in NYS—will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2021 and whether this is your first or your tenth I Love My Park Day—welcome. With the ongoing pandemic, spring is going to look a little different, but we are excited to be hosting a safe, in-person I Love My Park Day event. This year, in partnership with NY State Parks and DEC, PTNY will be hosting a more contained, two-day event on Saturday & Sunday, May 1st-2nd."

Project: In celebration of I Love My Park Day 2021, join the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society for a beach walk and clean-up at Hallock State Park Preserve. As we walk along the beach, we will look for signs of local wildlife and pick-up debris before it can wash back into the Long Island Sound and potentially harm marine life.
We will maintain social distancing and masks are required.
All beach clean-up supplies will be provided, but it is recommended to bring your own gloves."
