We couldn't be more grateful to all the volunteers over the years who have helped beautify the 23-acre Jay Estate (wearing every color T-shirt from yellow to purple)!! From uncovering hidden flagstone paths, to raking leaves and planting annuals. We've participated in every I Love My Parks Day with Parks &amp; Trails NY and NY State Parks since 2012! Partner groups have included the Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Mount Vernon Youth Bureau, Yale Alumni, Con Edison, Rye Neck School, Mamaroneck School, Stanford Alumni, the Rye Garden Club, Rye Sustainability Committee and many more.&nbsp;
Sign up yourself, your family or your group today! Click on the link below and select the Jay Estate. Ideal for students seeking community service hours or adult groups who just want to give back! Event starts at 9am and finishes at 12pm but you can help out for just an hour or two - whatever works for your schedule.
And join us for FREE ice cream from Jimmy's Soft Serve afterwards as our small way of saying thank you.
