I Love My Park Day
Parks & Trails New York, in partnership with DEC and State Parks, hosts I Love My Park Day on the first Saturday in May, attracting thousands of volunteers from across the state to participate in stewardship events on New York public lands. Join us for New York’s largest single-day volunteer event and help us prepare for spring by cleaning up campgrounds, parks, and beaches; planting native trees and pollinator gardens; restoring trail and wildlife habitat; removing invasive species; and working on various other site improvement projects. Check out our Flickr account for photos from I Love My Park Day 2026!
Participants are encouraged to Love Our New York Lands all year by practicing the 7 Principles of Leave No Trace TM and by recreating safely and sustainably.
Thank you to all the volunteers who joined us for 2026's event. We hope to see you at next year's I Love My Park Day on May 1, 2027!
