Park Pitch In: City of Forest Day
Saturday, October 26, 11 am–2 pm
Willink Entrance, Free, Registration Required
In collaboration with BSE Global and National Grid, join Prospect Park Alliance for a Park Pitch In volunteer event on City of Forest Day, a city-wide effort to raise awareness and celebrate New York City’s urban forest. Prospect Park Alliance volunteers will plant over 400 trees and shrubs as well as perform weeding and tree bed care to restore Prospect Park’s beloved landscape, which has seen the loss of a significant number of ash trees since 2017 due to Emerald Ash Borer, a wood-boring beetle that is deadly to trees. Each tree planted will count towards BSE Global and National Grid’s “Threes for Trees” initiative, which is committed to planting a tree in the Brooklyn community for every 3-point basket made by players from the Brooklyn Nets, New York Liberty, Long Island Nets, and Nets GC during their regular season home games. Together we can help enrich our environment and provide green spaces for generations to come.
Appropriate for groups, teens and adults.
