Friend's of Inwood Hill Park was "re-co-founded" in 2015 by NYC Parks Super Stewards, Chris and Sally. FIHP is just one organization along a long history of organizations, dating back both decades and centuries, that have cared for the same land. In 2016 they partnered up with a volunteer litter pickup and recycling organization led by John, for their first annual earth day festival. A lot has changed since then, including the heartbreaking passing of Sally in late 2022.
FIHP plan to honor Sally's life as we work to get ready for the 9th Annual Earth Day festival, on April, 2024. There are countless friends of Inwood Hill Park and we could never adequately cover them all on this page, however we are all but a blip in the long and amazing history of stewardship in Manhattan's last natural park.
This page will be regularly updated over 2023 to include all forms of history and stewardship in 2023. Come back soon.
