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!

We have exciting news! The first $100,000 donated this week will be matched by the Conservancy's Board of Directors. Make a year end gift today and your donation will go twice as far to care for the 400 acres of green space we all love and rely on 🌳💛

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!
