More than 30 students, faculty, staff take part in volunteer effort
(Rome, NY – May 2014) A group of more than 30 SUNYIT students, faculty and staff volunteers and family members took part in the May 3 statewide “I Love My Park Day,” organized by the Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) and Parks & Trails New York (PTNY).
“We had 34 volunteers from SUNYIT, 16 of them from the Wildcat Cares student club, plus five SUNYIT family members,” said Mark Bremer, lecturer in biology and coordinator of SUNYIT’s Green Team. “The park manager wants us to come back again next spring, and we’re invited to a trail maintenance day in the fall.”
