I Love My Park Day is a huge statewide event, organized by Parks & Trails New York (PTNY) in partnership with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP), SavATree, and other local volunteers to help enhance New York’s parks and historic sites and bring visibility to the entire park system and its needs. Every year here at the Croton Aqueduct, my crew and I focus on eradicating non-native invasive species to keep this park’s delicate ecosystem healthy and maintain its natural environment for people to enjoy.
