Inwood Hill Park: Field Trip in NYC

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

Their mission is full of adventure and mishaps, as this mismatched duo try to tolerate each other long enough to get the job done.
