Come dressed in sturdy boots or shoes, long sleeves, long pants, and clothing that can get dirty. Face masks may be worn at your discretion. Space is limited and registration is required. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by a chaperone. This event has been funded in part by NYC Service. To sign up a group of 10 or more volunteers please reach out to stewardship@parks.nyc.gov.
Even when school’s out, our parks are still the city’s natural classroom! Bring your kids to parks throughout the city for Kids Week during mid-Winter Recess. With programs led by our Urban Park Rangers, kids will get to experience nature in a hands-on and fun way. Explore and enter our recently restored Lenape wigwam and enjoy an afternoon by a warm campfire. Learn how to use a bow drill and other methods to start a fire.
During Native American Heritage Month, explore the past and present experience of Native Americans. Learn more about the rock shelters in the ancient tulip forests of Inwood Hill Park and the rich culture, history, and traditions of the Lenape!
