Come see Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan (a.k.a. Midtown West) and learn about our valuable tree canopy with NYC Parks Care Captain/Citizen Pruner volunteer Elizabeth Young! Participants will hear about tree care best practices, check in on the efforts to create a butterfly trail on 9th Avenue in the mid 40s with native pollinator plants, and know the steps NYC Parks tree stewards and leaders take to nurture our tree canopy, address heat vulnerability in urban areas, and respond to increased stormwater activity.
Accessibility
9th Avenue is accessible to wheelchairs and close to the Port Authority Bus Terminal and subway lines. Some sidewalks are uneven. The tour route is roughly one-half mile. We recommend wearing layers to accommodate changing temperatures on Manhattan island and comfortable, closed-toe shoes.
Location Information
RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
