A group of 70 summer interns from Master Card arrived at Teatown on June 26th to volunteer to spruce up the nature preserve.

The interns worked on many projects including building new picnic tables, taking down an old wooden bridge and replacing it with a new one and working to spruce up Wildflower Woods at Teatown Lake Reservation. 

The efforts for Teatown were organized by Volunteer New York, a volunteer engagement and recruitment agency in Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties. Their Regional Volunteer Center supports non-profits and encourages volunteerism in the Mid-Hudson region.

According to their website, Teatown Lake Reservation is "a nonprofit, environmental organization with an 1,000 acre nature preserve and education center located in the Lower Hudson Valley."
