Tree Identification Walk

Think all trees look the same ? Think again! Join us for an in-person tree identification walk in Van Cortlandt Park hosted by Riverside Park Conservancy and Van Cortlandt Park Alliance where we will be identifying common New York trees. We’ll explore bark patterns, twig shapes, and buds,--nature’s secret clues hiding in plain sight. Perfect for hikers, naturalists, and anyone who wants to deepen their connection to the woods.
