<p>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 <b>I Love My Parks Day</b> with <b>Parks &amp; Trails NY</b> and <b>NY State Parks </b>since 2012! Partner groups have included the <b>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</b> and many more.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sign up yourself, your family or your group today! Click on the link below and select <b>the Jay Estate. </b>Ideal for students seeking <b>community service hours</b> 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.</p>
<p>And join us for <b>FREE</b> ice cream from <b>Jimmy's Soft Serve</b> afterwards as our small way of saying thank you.</p>
