Volunteering at Central Park - Saturday Green Team

My hubby has always been an enthusiastic volunteer and I love it about him :) In London he used to get involved in all sorts, from helping to clean rivers to assisting at sports events. You name it and he will be there! This move to New York has made volunteering much more important to our agenda as it is a great way to meet new people and making friends as well.
My first volunteer attempt here was at the High Line. Unfortunately I missed the deadline and could not take part in the Spring Cutback this year.
The second attempt is volunteering at Central Park Conservancy with the Saturday Green Team. We can do anything from raking, mulching, pulling weeds or planting bulbs. We were supposed to have started it last Saturday but unfortunately the weather was awful and it was cancelled :(
Nevertheless, we have already signed up for this Saturday coming up. Very excited and looking forward to it. 
Fingers crossed it will go well this time! I will be sharing some photos with you later on ;-)
If you are interested in volunteering at one of New York's postcards, you can register on ther website. There are loads of different things you could do :)

The High Line - volunteering opportunities

One of my favorite places of "my New York" is the High Line. It is very close to our flat and I can walk all the way to the Meatpacking District :) It is a great program for the weekends as there are loads of lovely places to have brunch there after the walk.
The High line runs from the Gansevoort Street up to 30th Street (West Chelsea). It was a very ambitious urban renewal project which transformed a disused railway into public park with amazing views from the Hudson River and the city from another perspective.

In spite of having being open to the public in June 2009 (the portion between Gansenvoort to 20th Street), it has already become one of the main attractions in New York. You can see most of the art galleries in West Chelsea as well.

I have applied to be a volunteer in the Green-Up Spring Cut back between March and April. The deadline was on the 13th of February, I was a bit late....But I hope to hear something back. Fingers crossed!!!! It should be fun and also an amazing opportunity to meet new people :)
