# Event Details - **Event Name**: Stewardship Sunday: English Ivy Pull at the Walt Whitman Birthplace - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 18 Jan, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sun, 18 Jan, 2026 at 01:30 pm - **Event Description**: Help us remove invasive English Ivy from inside the Walt Whitman Birthplace State Historic Site and be treated to a tour afterwards!About this EventJoin us for our first time volunteering at the Walt Whitman Birthplace State Historic Site where we will be removing English Ivy inside the grounds and growing along the trees. After we finish the staff at the center are willing to offer us a free tour of the historic site as a thank you for our efforts!This program is available for all ages 14 and up. Anyone younger may join if accompanied by their parent/guardian. Meeting Time: 11:00am - 1:30pmParking Instructions: We will meet inside the entrance of the interpretive center just off to the side. Parking at the historic site is limited and tight, so please carpool if possible! If there is no available parking there should be a parking lot next to the Whitman lot where you can park instead. Please be aware that while the site looks like it's connected to Walt Whitman Road it is actually only enterable from Old Walt Whitman Road, so don't go too fast along the NY-110 otherwise you might pass it without realizing! It's easier to drive southbound or by cutting across from Schwab Road, otherwise you won't have an easy turning lane if traffic is heavier than expected.

While the house has changed ownership dozens of times since the Whitmans left in 1823, It has been a New York State Historic Site since 1957. In 2000 the house was restored to its "original" 1823 interior and 1882 exterior, which was the last year the poet visited his place of birth. Today, English Ivy has been creeping over the perimeter of the grounds and climbing up many of the remaining trees. While we will be focused on raking/pulling out as much English Ivy as we can, there may be some other invasive plants in the grounds that we can remove depending on how many of us there are. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/b496ed70-f29e-11f0-aa68-99d70a1bdd58-rimg-w987-h740-dc5e4930-gmir.jpg The perimeter of the grounds as of December, 2025 https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/b4cc5550-f29e-11f0-96a0-3f7757038dc0-rimg-w555-h740-dc5993a5-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/huntington-station/stewardship-sunday-english-ivy-pull-at-the-walt-whitman-birthplace/100001980581703190 - **Event Categories**: meetups, art, literary-art, trips-adventures, volunteering - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Huntington Station - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Walt Whitman Birthplace Association - **lat**: 40.8170952 - **long**: -73.41179319999999 - **full address**: Walt Whitman Birthplace Association, 246 Old Walt Whitman Road, Huntington Station, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Stewardship Sunday: English Ivy Pull at the Walt Whitman Birthplace - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/9a8c2ebf2cde965a99c24f3541ce8b739610a1183e2f48924e59ef754f92dcd3-rimg-w1200-h900-dc308ef0-gmir.jpg?v=1768542425 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Stewardship Sunday: English Ivy Pull at the Walt Whitman Birthplace being held? - **A:** Stewardship Sunday: English Ivy Pull at the Walt Whitman Birthplace takes place on Sun, 18 Jan, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sun, 18 Jan, 2026 at 01:30 pm at Walt Whitman Birthplace Association, 246 Old Walt Whitman Road, Huntington Station, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Stewardship Sunday: English Ivy Pull at the Walt Whitman Birthplace? - **A:** Stewardship Sunday: English Ivy Pull at the Walt Whitman Birthplace is organized by NYS Parks Long Island Environmental Education. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Stewardship Sunday: English Ivy Pull at the Walt Whitman Birthplace", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/9a8c2ebf2cde965a99c24f3541ce8b739610a1183e2f48924e59ef754f92dcd3-rimg-w1200-h900-dc308ef0-gmir.jpg?v=1768542425", "startDate": "2026-01-18", "endDate": "2026-01-18", "url": "https://allevents.in/huntington-station/stewardship-sunday-english-ivy-pull-at-the-walt-whitman-birthplace/100001980581703190", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Walt Whitman Birthplace Association", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "246 Old Walt Whitman Road", "postalCode": "11746", "addressLocality": "Huntington Station", "addressRegion": "NY", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "40.8170952", "longitude": "-73.41179319999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Help us remove invasive English Ivy from inside the Walt Whitman Birthplace State Historic Site and be treated to a tour afterwards!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-08", "availabilityEnds": "2026-01-18", "validFrom": "2026-04-08", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/huntington-station/stewardship-sunday-english-ivy-pull-at-the-walt-whitman-birthplace/100001980581703190" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-08", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/huntington-station/stewardship-sunday-english-ivy-pull-at-the-walt-whitman-birthplace/100001980581703190", "price": 0, "name": "Volunteer Steward" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "NYS Parks Long Island Environmental Education", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/nys-parks-long-island-environmental-education/18672713" } ] } ] ```
