If you're looking to connect more with the community, the natural world, or both, here's a great way to begin this weekend. In my experience, this kind of work can feel incredibly meaningful in a time when it can be hard to know how to meaningfully contribute.

From the Natural Areas Conservancy, which is partnering with NYC Parks:

We need your help planting 500 trees in Forest Park! Join the NAC on two upcoming volunteer days to help make Forest Park greener!
No experience needed—we will demonstrate site-prep, planting, and provide gloves.
We need volunteers for both days:

Friday, May 15: Planting-Site Prep Day from 9 a.m to 4 p.m.

Saturday, May 16: Tree Planting Day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

I'll be there - hope to see you!

Birds and blossoms everywhere, one of the most colorful times of the year here.

Hello - this is a monthly thread for random thoughts, conversations, oddities, and anything else related to Kew Gardens and surrounding neighborhoods.
