Friends of Stewart Park could not wait to share this video with you! It keys right into our commitment to make the playground — and the whole of Stewart Park — inclusive and inviting to all. Take a look! FSP is very grateful to Aryana and Sonya for taking the time to talk with us.

On Tuesday, October 11, around 50 high schoolers from the Code Red Robotics club came out to help in Stewart Park! These hard working students trimmed back invasive shrubs along the lakeshore, picked up 2 contractor bags full of litter, and raked the paths at the playground. If you have a group looking for volunteer opportunities, there's plenty to do for Stewart Park and the Cayuga Waterfront Trail! Contact us and we'll connect you with the right volunteer work for your group! Alternatively, sign up for our volunteer listserv to learn about organized volunteer opportunities.

Last week Ithaca Garden Club, Ithaca Children’s Garden and Cornell Horticulture Professor Bill Miller's lab planted 50,000 daffodil bulbs along the Cayuga Waterfront Trail! Ithaca Garden Club has raised over $15,000 to ensure Ithaca has beautiful blooms to help wake us up from our winter haze come early spring. Miller, whose research is heavily flower bulb related, used a Dutch planting machine to assist with the planting. Currently the Daff-A-Dazzle focus is along the CWT in Cass Park, but more flowers will be headed to Stewart Park as well. Read more about the planting in the Cornell Daily Sun article and learn more about the Daff-A-Dazzle project at their website.
