  Why?  
     
 
Adopt a tree.
    Our purpose is to control vines along the Bronx River Parkway and to be a proving ground for efforts elsewhere in the Northeast. We especially want to save the big signature trees. They are critically endangered. The vines will kill many of them over the next few years. They are important to the beauty of our parklands and incredibly expensive to replace.  
           
 
Take care of our little patch.
 

Our method is to cut away the worst infestations (tough work) and then control regrowth with yearly snipping (a much easier task). To do it we want volunteers to "Adopt a Tree" or a section of the parkway. We work after the leaves have fallen so we can see the vines more easily and avoid poison ivy.

 
           
 
Earn merit badges.
    Success: Sections have been cleared and maintained by a very few volunteers using this method. Some people spend a few hours each winter. Others do it daily as part of their morning exercise.  
           
 
Get exercise.
  We are The Bronx River Conservancy, a membership organization formed in 1997 that has quietly done a great deal to protect and improve The Bronx River Parkway Reservation "The Central Park of Westchester County."
