Discover the Tree Trail, a self-guided walking tour of the "woods" in Fort Greene Park, and discover 39 distinct varieties of trees. To start your journey, follow the dotted green lines painted on the paths to each numbered plaque identifying a tree species. A fun and education journey is awaiting all who follow the trail. For the tree locations see the map below or download the PDF. Launched in 2007, the Fort Greene Park Tree Trail was created by a coalition of organizations which included the New York City Parks Department, the Urban Park Rangers, the Fort Greene Park Conservancy, Brooklyn Technical Services, the City of New York, and Boy Scout Troop 237 in Brooklyn, NY. (A full list of contributors follows this article.)
