City of Forest Day Volunteer Event

October 4, 2025

9 to 11:30 a.m. | At the Garden

Presented by Forest for All NYC in partnership with the Parks and Open Space Partners coalition and 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.

Volunteers at this event will remove invasive vines and shrubs in a reforestation site by Twin Lakes, a pair of ponds surrounded by wild forest. This is an important part of the larger project to restore a healthy forest on the site.
