Join Natural Areas Conservancy & NYC’s Secrets & Lies for a Field Trip Experience, a community event for history and nature lovers alike!
We’re heading to Inwood Hill Park, Manhattan’s only original forest, to explore the Park’s natural, environmental, and social history through live storytelling. We’ll hike through geological wonders and historical “lore” while separating the facts from the fables of the land. Along the way, we’ll participate in the 2026 City Nature Challenge, documenting the Park’s biodiversity in real-time. These observations will contribute to NYC’s overall ranking during the weekend.
Location :Seaman Avenue and Isham Street Entrance

Our Earth Day Festival is an annual day of art, education, music, stewardship, and celebrating community in Inwood Hill Park at 218th Street and Indian Road entrance and will take place, rain or shine, unless there are dangerous weather conditions.
This year, Earth Day Festival will conclude with a jazz performance at the Inwood Hill Nature Center at 3:30 pm. For all fans of jazz, we can’t wait to see you there!
We are excited and grateful to work with you, to enjoy a meaningful day with our community, and to come together to support Inwood Hill Park. See you in the park!
