New York’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic
Preservation has announced that registration is open for anyone wishing to
participate in this year’s I Love My
Park Day which is scheduled for Saturday, May 5, 2018.
I Love
My Park Day provides those who love the Parks the opportunity to volunteer in
cleanup, improvement and beautification projects scheduled at Parks across the
state.
To learn more about I Love
My Park Day, view the list of scheduled events and to sign up to
participate in one at a Park in your area (or another!), visit the Parks &
Trails New York (PTNY) web site (link HERE).
According to the organization’s web site, “Parks & Trails New
York is New York’s leading statewide advocate for parks and trails, dedicated
since 1985 to improving our health, economy, and quality of life through the
use and enjoyment of green space.” PTNY’s
annual I Love My Park Day attracts
thousands of volunteers who happily devote their time and energy to the
well-being of their beloved New York State Parks. Last year, over 8,000 volunteers participated
in more than 250 projects at 125 different locations. That’s a wonderful show of affection!
PTNY is an excellent source of information regarding New York’s
Parks & Trails, including the Erie Canalway Trail. The 2018 Erie Canal Bike Tour – a 400 mile
journey from Buffalo to Albany - is scheduled for July 8th – July 15th. Complete information on this
exciting event can be found on the PTNY web site.
New York State Parks have SO much to offer – get out there and EXPLORE!
