The Village of Scarsdale, its Conservation Advisory Council and the Friends of Scarsdale Parks are working to transform an unused grass field at Palmer and Secor into a beautiful native landscape. The field will be planted as a meadow next spring, which will support butterflies, bees and other pollinators. Plans also call for a path along the meadow to appreciate the resulting natural wonderland.
This fall they will restore the area next to the field into a healthy native woodland with trees, shrubs and perennials, which will also provide important habitat to many creatures including birds. This is an important environmental project that will benefit the community for many years to come. Volunteer just a few hours of your time and take pride in having helped accomplish this important natural project.
They need your help with planting on Saturday October 8th and Sunday October 9th. Bring your own gloves, trowels and shovels, or we will provide them. Volunteers are needed for these time slots:
Saturday, October 8
10 am - 1:30 pm
1:30 pm - 5 pm
Sunday, October 9
10 am - 1:30 pm
1:30 pm - 5 pm
To get this community project accomplished we need your help! Sign up here or email VillageOfScarsdaleCAC@gmail.com.
This is a wonderful parent and child activity. Please share this information with anyone else who you think might be interested. Volunteers under 16 years old should be accompanied by an adult who's ready to dig! Please bring your own trowel if you own one.
