We are a little less than a month away from City of Forest Day — being held on Saturday, October 4th — and we are thrilled to introduce the theme for this year's Bronx City of Forest Day:
"Meet Our Urban Forest; Rooted in Community."
In the spirit of unity and creativity, an amazing group of Bronx-based organizations, stewards, and community partners came together during the peak of summer to develop a theme that truly represents the Bronx's vibrant community and its unique green spaces. Ashlyn Teather, a Partnerships for Parks community engagement coordinator, had this to say regarding the "spark" that brought this all together:
"This idea for a Bronx borough wide collab for City of Forest Day was sparked at a Friends of Shoelace Park meeting a few months ago, thanks to forest leaders Journei, Jenn, and Genesis, who also like to dream big and value connection. I’m new to the borough, but everyone I’ve met has shown me that forested green spaces and parks communities are special in the Bronx. The first theme brainstorm session, full of thoughtful discussion on Bronx’s forests, showed that to be true. I hope this first year of collaboration on CoFD helps link the Bronx parks steward community even more and celebrates our efforts. I look forward to everyone’s events on October 4th!"
Along with this theme, a set of customizable flyer designs were thoughtfully crafted by Partnerships for Parks Art Director Anne LaFond, inspired by multiple creative meetings with our dedicated Bronx partners.
