PLEASE check with Dr. Maurer in room 236 before starting a community service!

Central Park, at the very heart (if not the very heart) of New York City, is one of the most inspiring combinations of architecture, landscape design and urban planning to be found anywhere on the face of the earth. It ranks as a symbol of New York City only behind the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. Unlike these two, however, Central Park is dynamic, vibrant; a perpetually changing counterpoint to the brilliant, but static, architectural achievements that surround it.

Central Park breathes. It provides a respite from the struggles that have produced the amazing city that surrounds it. It is a place to reflect, to sigh deeply and feel good about it, to let the tension ebb and allow the strictures and pressures of metropolitan enterprise loosen and unwind. source

[edit] About this Community Service Opportunity

The Urban Park Ranger Volunteer Program is conducted in all five boroughs and is based out of our ten citywide Nature Centers. Volunteers serve as much-needed supplements to our surprisingly small staff numbers, aiding Rangers and Nature Center Coordinators in their many duties. In turn, Volunteers gain the opportunity to positively contribute to the development of their community while learning new skills and knowledge in beautiful parkland environments
