City of Forest Day
Saturday, October 14th, 2023
Free
Join us Saturday, October 14, 2023 for the second annual City of Forest Day!
Let’s learn, care for, and celebrate the NYC urban forest. Did you know that New York City is home to more than 7 million trees, hundreds of acres of woodlands, and miles of trails? A healthy urban forest is essential for a healthy city—providing critical habitat for wildlife, cleaning our air and water, cooling our neighborhoods, and improving our health and wellbeing.
Presented by Forest for All NYC in partnership with the Parks and Open Space Partners – NYC Coalition and NYC Department of Parks and Recreation, City of Forest Day is a 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.
Most events in Brooklyn are already on our Go Green BK calendar. Events in other boroughs can be found here: https://forestforall.nyc/city-of-forest-day/
