Highbridge Park – Nature Walk and Planting!

Join the Natural Areas Conservancy’s ecologists for a guided nature walk and short planting event on Friday, December 16 in Highbridge Park, Washington Heights. We will walk the historic Old Croton Aqueduct trail in the southern section of the park and enjoy the last of the fall color, observe wildlife, and beautify the trail edges by planting native plants.

PLEASE NOTE: We will meet at 2:30 PM at the park entrance on 158th Street and Edgecombe Avenue. Please wear sturdy shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty. Bring water and a snack. Gloves and equipment will be provided.
