North Hempstead Council Member Veronica Lurvey joined with Temple Beth-El of Great Neck on Sept. 19 for a community clean-up of Whitney Pond Park.

Approximately 20 volunteers joined the Parks Department to prepare Whitney Pond Park for the Fall.

The day’s efforts included getting the nature trail-ready for visitors, clearing weeds, and cleaning leaves and debris. The clean-up at Whitney Pond Park is part of an annual program that Council Member Lurvey hosts with Temple Beth-El.
