City of Forest Day

Join us for the 5th annual City of Forest Day, when we will be planting climate adapted trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plugs to restore the understory near the Nature Center trail for years to come.  Presented by Forest for All NYC in partnership with the Parks and Open Space Partners coalition and NYC Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), City of Forest Day is an annual day of activities across the city to raise awareness of the importance of the New York City urban forest, and the essential role New Yorkers play every day in caring for the “lungs” of our city.Additional instructions:  Dress in long pants and sleeves and wear sturdy boots or sneakers suitable for standing on uneven terrain and digging in the soil.
