About the Crew
Our dedicated volunteers protect native habitats by removing invasive plants throughout the region, from the Delaware Water Gap to eastern Bergen County in New Jersey, and from Orange to Dutchess County in New York. No experience is needed — we provide on-the-job training! Just bring your work gloves and join us in making a real difference in the parks you love.
