LOCATION: Richmond Hill
DESCRIPTION: Our first Plant ID walk for May will be located at Forest Park Hiking Trails!
This is a spring plant walk in a forested area. It is highly recommended to wear long-sleeve clothing for protection against insects or plants.
Forest Park is the third-largest park in Queens, at 543 acres, providing a sports area, concert area, and natural park setting. The park is home to a series of small hills and the boroughs largest continuous Oak-Hickory forest at 165-acres. Some trees are more than a century and a half old. The park sits on hills left behind by the Wisconsin glacier and is a haven for native plants and wildlife in the midst of the city's sprawl. In addition to the park's large full-time bird population, migratory birds pass through in the spring and fall!
