MulchFest 2012 will take place on Saturday and Sunday, January 7th and 8th, from 10am to 2pm. Chip in! Mulch your tree! Help NYC grow.

MulchFest provides New Yorkers an opportunity to bring their holiday trees to designated sites where they are ground into wood chips. The chips can then be placed in tree pits and gardens. Parks & Recreation encourages New Yorkers to help the environment and their community by participating in this event. Our local MulchFest location is Fort Greene Park. Enter Park at the intersection of Washington Park and Willoughby Avenue.

Participants are encouraged to bring bags to take advantage of the free mulch provided.

All lights, ornaments and stands must be taken off holiday trees.

The MulchFest chipper in Fort Greene Park is sponsored by NYC Parks & Recreation in partnership with the Society for Clinton Hill, the Fort Greene Association and The Fort Greene Park Conservancy
