Summer isn’t over but we are gearing up for the fall. We hope to bring the Tour de Quercus (the genus name for oak trees) to the park on City of Forest Day, October 14, 2023. The event will include the original Quercus sculpture and a second to be fabricated this summer (with funding from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council).

Watch the video below of the original Quercus sculpture’s debut last summer. Quercus was designed by Data Vandals for Local Nature Lab. Video by Data Vandals.
