Forest Park City Nature Challenge Guided Hike

The Natural Areas Conservancy (NAC) will host a guided walk through Forest Park's trails to explore the diversity of flora and fauna. Volunteers will learn how to identify these plants and learn how to make iNaturalist observations of any other signs of nature you find along the way. These observations will contribute to the 2026 City Nature Challenge and NYC's overall ranking during the weekend.
