How To Celebrate NYC Climate Week In Prospect Park

PROSPECT PARK, BROOKLYN — New Yorkers looking for ways to get involved in NYC Climate Week will have plenty of ways of doing so in Brooklyn's Backyard.

The Prospect Park Alliance has created a line-up of in-person and virtual events that will help Brooklynites learn and help out the park during Climate Week, which is celebrated from Sept. 20 to 26.

Climate Week is held annually by the nonprofit Climate Group, along with the United Nations, COP26 and the city. It is "a global opportunity to come together to accelerate climate action and assess progress ahead of COP26."

Climate Week events in Prospect Park include a Climate Week chat, the park's weekly "Green + Go" clean-up efforts and kids nature activities.

Here's a full list, which is available on the alliance's website:

• On September 21, tune in for a Climate Week chat with Alliance Forest Ecologist Howard Goldstein and Turnstile Tours. Hear about the work happening in Prospect Park and ask your park-related climate change questions.
• On September 25 + 26, individuals and groups are invited to join Prospect Park Alliance to help keep our park green and vibrant by tackling litter and helping with other greening opportunities—register to check out Green + Go Kits at various locations around the park.
• On September 25 + 26, families and children can visit Play + Go and Nature's Helpers at the Peristyle. Enjoy nature activities and games to explore and learn more about the park, then help keep the park green and vibrant through stewardship activities.
