Freshkills Docent Orientation

Interested in taking part in the largest NYC Parks project in over 100 years? Join Freshkills at the launching of our Freshkills Docent Program! To begin, we'll be giving an introduction to our park and its' history, an overview on offered programming, and how docents will help us fully activate the park through hands on service projects. Light refreshments and a guided site tour will follow.

Your RSVP admits 1 car. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, all participants must provide their own car that will stay on-site the whole time. Participants may not use a bicycle, taxi or ride-share service. Each ticket holder may bring up to 4 additional guests in their car. During registration you will be asked about additional participants in your car. Due to limited reservations, carpooling with friends and family is encouraged.

Can't make it? You can still help by promoting our volunteer projects with your friends and neighbors. Students can receive credit for community service hours. We will also be adding more volunteer opportunities as the season continues.
