Get outside for the fourth annual City of Forest Day on October 4 with over 100 events across all five boroughs. City of Forest Day is an annual day offering activities across the city to raise awareness for the importance of the NYC urban forest. The goal is for New Yorkers to understand the essential role they play every day in caring for the “lungs” of the city.

Venues for the day include dozens of outdoor and indoor spots over the city including parks, libraries, community gardens and more. The free events run from 8am to 8pm. It’s presented by Forest for All NYC in partnership with the Parks and Open Space Partners coalition and NYC Parks.
