March's Community Farm Work Day
Join us for a Community Farm Work Day at Hilltop Hanover Farm!
Do you enjoy getting your hands dirty and working outdoors? Then mark your calendars for our Community Farm Work Day on Saturday, March 1st, 2024 from 1pm - 3pm. This event will take place at Hilltop Hanover Farm located in Yorktown Heights, NY.
Our project will be:
Spring Maintenance within the protected Trees for Tributaries area alongside the farm is key to ensuring healthy trees and a vibrant riparian ecosystem. Volunteers will learn how to perform annual tasks such as checking and fixing tree supports, light pruning, and weed removal. Specific instructions and all supplies will be given at the start of the activity. Intensity will be light-moderate: volunteers must be able to lift a lightweight plastic tube above shoulder height, walk through uneven terrain, and use a rubber mallet/hammer.
Connect with fellow community members while making a positive impact on our local environment. Whether you're an experienced gardener or simply interested in learning more, there's a way for everyone to be involved.
Expect to get dirty rain or shine. All ages and abilities welcome, but please note that youngsters must have adult supervision. If you would like to join with a large group, please reach out via email.
We recommend joining at the approximate start time, for training and to ensure there's time to take part in the activity.
