Highbridge Park – Plant Identification & Management Workshop

This in-person event is part of a series of in-person workshops and virtual presentations about forest ecology and forest management in your neighborhood’s favorite park — Highbridge! During this workshop, attendees will learn about forest ecology and how to identify plants and other indicators of forest health. At the end of this event, participants will have learned to identify a variety of plant species in every layer of the forest. Participants will gain an understanding of species composition, forest habitats, and how plant identification skills can help you care for the forest.

Neighbors of Highbridge Park in Washington Heights and Inwood are encouraged to attend but everyone is welcome! Registration is required to attend. Please wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and dress for the weather. Bring water and a snack if you wish! Walking will be on paved and unpaved forest trail.

Funding for this project is provided by the New York State Environmental Protection Fund, NYSDEC Hudson River Estuary Program.
