HIGH LINE GREEN-UP SPRING CUTBACK

The new year kicks off the High Line’s fourth growing season, and the High Line Gardeners are getting ready for High Line Green-Up Spring Cutback, the annual preparation of the planting beds for spring. Cutting back last season’s perennials and grasses to make way for new growth is a lot of work. This year's High Line Green-Up Spring Cutback begins March 5, and Friends of the High Line is bringing in a dedicated group of volunteers to help with this tremendous task. Read more. [7]

HIGH LINE GREETER PROGRAM

One of our most exciting volunteer opportunities is the High Line Greeter Program. Greeters are a group of committed volunteers who engage park visitors, answer questions, and provide information during busy periods on the High Line. Greeters are based at a mobile information cart known as the Field Station, which contains High Line pamphlets, activities for kids, self-guides, story books, and information about becoming a member of Friends of the High Line.
