The kids said that it was the best trip they had ever been on. The entire event was wonderfully organized and everyone involved was an absolute pleasure.” Laura Staten Island, NY “I just wanted to say thank you so much for Saturday! We all had a great time and students learned a lot about the value of trees to our environment. Thanks!” Sahar Build On, Brooklyn, NY “I’d never been to Wolfe's Pond Park previously. What a wonderful pristine wilderness. Thank heavens for the exciting dedication the Parks Department has, and is, always putting toward our shared environment. It really preserves the living roots of the history of this land and the people who inhabit it. Thanks for the good work you and your predecessors did and for the happiness you gave my son and I and everyone who ever visited our parks.” Joe Metuchen, New Jersey
