this does seem like a great opportunity to get on up there:
SATURDAY APRIL 17: FIRST-EVER HIGH LINE CLEAN-UP DAY
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
CSX, the railroad that currently owns the High Line, is permitting FHL to bring a limited number of volunteers up on to the Line's elevated rail bed to remove trash that has accumulated over the years. By volunteering to help, you'll have a rare opportunity to care for and beautify this unique urban treasure.
WHEN: Saturday April 17, from 10:00am to 3:00pm
WHERE: About 2 blocks of the High Line in the West 20's.(Meeting location to be announced with confirmation to volunteers who sign up)
SIGN-UP: To sign-up for Clean-Up Day, e-mail rick@thehighline.org.
ABOUT CLEAN-UP DAY: Volunteers will be signed up on a first-come first-serve basis for 1-hour time slots. 15 volunteers at a time will be brought up on the Line to help pick up bottles, paper, broken glass, metal, tires, and other refuse. Each group will stay on the Line for approximately 1 hour. FHL will provide all supplies, including bags and heavy-duty work gloves.
The High Line is private property owned by CSX. All participating volunteers will be asked to sign a release form before going onto the Line. There will be no tours on Clean-Up Day. Clean-Up Day activities will be limited to the part of the Line being cleaned. All volunteers MUST be pre-registered for this event. Only those signed up for Clean-Up Day will be allowed on the Line. No one under 18 is allowed on the Line.
Because of the rarity of this opportunity, we expect that all available slots for Clean-Up Day will fill up quickly. So please sign up now if you want to participate.
