More than 40 volunteers gathered at the Aqueduct Friday morning to cleanup the green space.

Volunteers, who were armed with brooms, pickers, trash bags and gloves, swarmed the walkway, which is the Bronx's first and only New York City Scenic Landmark.

It's a stretch littered with everything from trash to drug paraphernalia, but event organizers say this space deserves more and should be the "High Line" of the Bronx.​

"It's definitely important to keep our green spaces clean because not only do they give us oxygen they give us shade they give us so many important things for our health," said volunteer Stephanie Caban.

The Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition partnered with the Fordham BID and the Kingsbridge Road Merchants Association for this cleanup which also brought in a group of teens from Curriculum Kween's.

Organizers using this event to call for the City Council to dedicate 1% of the city budget to NYC Parks and Recreation in hopes that would help maintain green spaces like this.

"The Bronx has some of the most vast parkland in the city historically the Bronx has been disinvested in particularly in this area," said Juan Nuñez, NWBCCC.

This is the second time since the Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition has cleaned up this stretch of green space and they say it wont be the last.
