Cardboard Landscapes Workshop with Freshkills Park

Join us for a hands-on workshop, led by FKPA staff and AmeriCorps members, where you'll learn to reuse cardboard and reimagine landscapes.

It's estimated that over 30 million tons of corrugated and paperboard material are produced in the U.S. each year, with 17 million tons being landfilled annually. This makes up roughly half of the total paper and cardboard waste generated.

During this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to create cardboard topographic models as well as cardboard shadowboxes. Materials will be provided, but we encourage participants to bring their own supplies.

There is a suggested donation of 20$ per participant.

Acceptable materials includes:

- Cardboard boxes

- Poster board

- Unsoiled pizza boxes

- other corrugated paper materials.

📌 Location: We will meet at FKO Building, located at 2240 Richmond Ave. Staten Island, NY 10314.

Limited parking is available.

This location is most conveniently served by the S44, S59, S94, and SIM4C bus routes.

♿ Accommodations: If any reasonable accommodations are needed, please let us know how we can help via email.
