Freshkills Park Climate Week: Nature Walk

Take action this Climate Week with a Nature Walk through Freshkills Park! Freshkills Park staff will take you on a walk through areas of the park that are currently closed to the public. Not only will you be learning about the different types of plants and animals that call the park home, but you'll get a better view of the transformation of what was once the worlds largest landfill, turned park- what a perfect way to celebrate Climate Week!

This tour is donation-based and we suggest a $10 donation per participant, but we understand everyone is in a different position to give and we thank you. Your donation supports the education, programming, and research at the Freshkills Park Alliance and makes programs like this possible.

Accessibility: This tour will be an approximately 2+ mile walk. The roads themselves can be uneven at times. If you have any accessibility needs, please let us know in advance so we can best accommodate you.

Plan Ahead: Be “tick aware” and “weather aware.” Wear appropriate clothing, including close-toed shoes and sunscreen. Stay hydrated and make sure to bring water with you. All participants will be asked to sign an activity waiver before entering the park. Those under 18 need to have the waiver signed by a parent or guardian and be accompanied by an adult.
