Fantastic Forests: High Line Family Workshops
1pm – 4pm
August 2 and 9
3pm – 6pm
Location
Families are invited to explore the role the High Line’s native trees play in New York City’s unique ecosystem through our series of free kid-friendly art workshops. Our park is lined with native trees like staghorn sumac, whitespire grey birch, pitch pine, and more—trees that provide habitat to local wildlife, food sources for birds, nectar sources for pollinators, and much more. Learn about what makes these native trees unique while creating your own artworks inspired by urban forests.
Youth leaders from The Bronx is Blooming will be tabling on July 22 to share about urban forest ecosystems in the Bronx.
Teaching Artists from New Victory Theater will be joining us on July 29 to engage visitors in a free movement-based workshop inspired by trees. Feel the forest! Join the fun!
Continue your exploration beyond the forest and visit Old Tree, the new monumental sculpture on the High Line by artist Pamela Rosenkranz.
Advance registration is encouraged. Walk-ups are welcome.
