Fall Foliage Hike: Cornucopia of Trees!

With nearly 30,000 acres of public parkland, New York City is the perfect place for fall leaf-peeping. Let our Urban Park Ranger naturalists explain why leaves change colors and introduce you to the diversity of trees found in our urban forests. Be sure to bring your camera and prepare for the kaleidoscope of colors. Share your best NYC Parks fall foliage photos with us on Twitter and Instagram with #FallforNYC.
