Autumn in NYC’s Hidden Forest

During Fall Forest Weekends, visitors can revel in the unique autumnal beauty and resilience of the 50acre Thain Family Forest, the largest expanse of New York City’s original wooded landscape. Tours and other events provide opportunities to learn about this historic old-growth forest.

Two themed discovery walks focus on the Thain Family Forest’s birds and natural history. Visitors can explore the diversity of migrating birds that find food and habitat in the Forest and learn more about ongoing efforts to make New York City a safer place for avian life. The natural history tour provides an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the Forest in a new light. During this one-hour walking tour, expertly trained guides will present facts about the trees as well as the history, geology, and ecology of the Forest. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and seasonal attire for the weather.

Activities including poetry, science, Shakespeare, and fiddlers fill the schedule for November 6&7 and 13&14, 10AM-5PM.
