The Battery Conservancy has several options for volunteers, and we are fortunate to work with many dedicated residents, organizations, and corporate groups who help us keep The Battery beautiful and welcoming for the more than six million people who visit us each year.

Individuals:
From March through November, The Battery Conservancy’s horticulture team of four professionals work with volunteers on Tuesdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon in The Battery’s gardens. This is a great opportunity to learn about perennials and get your hands in soil while looking over New York Harbor. From May through October, there may be individual volunteer opportunities at Battery Urban Farm.

Individuals interested in either of these opportunities should contact Lauren Kaplan at lkaplan@thebattery.org.

Groups:
Group volunteer days must be arranged in advance with our volunteer coordinator, and are subject to the schedule and needs of The Battery. Corporate groups who wish to arrange volunteer days are asked to provide a donation or become a member of our Battery Corporate Partnership. Organizations or corporations who would like more information about arranging volunteer days should contact Melanie Simmerman at 212.344.3491 x12 or msimmerman@thebattery.org.
