Thank you to Evercore volunteers for their work in Riverside Park this year! Volunteers worked alongside staff to paint fence lines, remove invasive plant species, and collect trash from the Hudson River coastline. This essential work helped make the park greener and cleaner!

With the cooler temperatures, leaves are starting to fall and settle under the trees. We follow the “Leave the leaves” practice to protect insect habitats, nurture the soil, and prevent erosion. Any leaves removed from high traffic areas will be processed into leaf mulch!
