About Forest Crew

If you want to know more about New York’s native ecology, join us!

On Sunday afternoons, our volunteers go into Highbridge Forest and tackle the modern day challenge of native reforestation. We’ll teach you everything you need to know, from native plant and tree identification to the how, why and what of invasive species removal. Later, you can tell your friends and family how you helped preserve a forest in the middle of Manhattan!

See you there!

*Forest Crew is a weekly event, recurring every Sunday. We ask that all volunteers commit to at least three sessions as a part of our ongoing Sherman Creek Stewards program.
