Duck … Duck … Duck … er … isn’t there supposed to be goose in there?
Thanks to James Vickers, the Garden’s Manager of Volunteer Services who filmed this feathery video on the Portage Trail along the Bronx River in the Forest.

New York Times staff photographer Librado Romero visited the Garden very (very) early this morning to catch this gorgeous photograph for the City Room blog’s “The City Stirs” series.

It’s hard to believe when you’re in the middle of the Native Forest, that you’re also in the middle of New York City.

"Where do you go to be alone?
The New York Botanical Garden. I especially like the old-growth forest there; few people realize that the garden includes 50 acres of woodlands that have never been cut — probably the only virgin forest left in the city. It gives you an idea of what the whole place might have looked like before the Europeans arrived."

Spicebush Trail Reopens
After some extensive renovations, the Spicebush Trail has reopened in the Garden’s Native Forest. If you’ve never taken a wander through the Forest, you really should! It’s lovely. The Forest is, at 50-acres, the largest remaining tract of the primeval woods that once covered New York City. Here’s a little story we did focusing on the Forest in fall, but it should pique your interest for a beautiful, post-Train Show winter wander down this newly renovated trail.
