Flushing Meadows Corona Park is a 897-acre public park located in Queens, New York, with a rich history dating back to the early 20th century. Originally a landfill known as the Corona Ash Dump, the site was transformed into a sprawling park by the influential urban planner Robert Moses during the 1930s. Moses oversaw the development of the park as the host for the 1939-1940 World's Fair.

Alumni, families, and friends of Andover are invited to a

Naval Cemetery Landscape Earth Day Non Sibi Project with
Roderic L. Rolett ’75
 

Roll up your sleeves and join fellow alumni to steward the beautiful Naval Cemetery Landscape (NCL) and adjacent Greenway, located next to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and managed by the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative (BGI). BGI will guide volunteers in the identification and targeted removal of a variety of invasive plants and vines, as well as tree stewardship, including weeding and aerating tree pits. The work involves easy to moderate physical activity, and the Student Conservation Association provides gloves, tools, instructions, and plant identification. 

This is a family-friendly non sibi project, all ages are welcome to participate! Volunteers are asked to print and sign the Brooklyn Greenway Initiative waiver form. For volunteers under 18, a parent or guardian must sign the form.  

Andover will be volunteering as part of a larger Earth Day event that welcomes members of the public.
