We will explore Highbridge Park, one of the last homes of the Northern Dusky Salamanders in New York City. Join the Natural Areas Conservancy, NYC Parks Ecologists and Urban Park Rangers, and the New York Restoration Project to learn about salamanders and how the healthy ecosystem is important to their survival – and ours!
Local ecologists will lead a nature walk and search for salamanders in the forest while we learn about their habitat and the implications of forest management for a healthy Hudson River Watershed.
Participants will have the opportunity to participate in the annual City Nature Challenge and do some hands-on forest stewardship management. We will start and end our event with an opportunity for community members to meet one another, reflect, and connect about Highbridge Park and its communities.
Dress for the weather and bring water and snacks if desired. This event is rain or shine. Wear sturdy walking shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting messy. We will walk 1 mile on sometimes rough terrain. All children under 18 must -be accompanied by an adult.
Registration for this event is prioritized for community members and organizers of Highbridge Park’s surrounding neighborhoods.
This event is supported by the New York State Department of Conservation (NYS DEC), Hudson River Estuary Program.
