This year, MulchFest is coming to the Myrtle Avenue side of Fort Greene Park!

MulchFest will take place at the Myrtle Avenue and Washington Park entrance of Fort Greene Park on Saturday and Sunday, January 10th and 11th, from 10am-2pm.

MulchFest provides New Yorkers an opportunity to bring their holiday trees to designated sites where they are ground into wood chips.  The city will use the chips to nourish tree beds and planting areas, or give you the mulch to take home (just bring a large bag).  All lights, ornaments and stands must be taken off of the holiday tree.

The MulchFest chipper in Fort Greene Park is sponsored by NYC Parks & Recreation and the Fort Greene Park Conservancy, in partnership with the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership.  Free coffee will be available.
