@paminnyc @wildnewyorkshow @BirdBronx Thank you. Just got an update from the Parks VCP Natural Areas Crew and all of the downed trees along the Putnam Greenway have been cleared within VCP.

[Van Cortlandt Park Alliance @vcpalliance]

@paminnyc @wildnewyorkshow @BirdBronx That should have said VCP and other parks throughout the borough.

[Van Cortlandt Park Alliance @vcpalliance]

@paminnyc @wildnewyorkshow @BirdBronx Good morning. We have reported that one to NYC Parks. Unfortunately, the storm did a lot of damage in VCP and other boroughs.

[Van Cortlandt Park Alliance @vcpalliance]

Last night’s storm did a lot of damage. NYC Parks staff is addressing down trees and limbs as best they can.

To report a fallen tree or limb, please call 311.

You can also let us know.
Share photos and a Google Map pin in the comments.

The Van Cortlandt Park Alliance hosted a wonderful Springtime Shindig in Van Cortlandt Park. It was an honor to provide a proclamation to one of this year’s honorees, the Riverdale Main Streets Alliance, thanking them for their dedication to Van Cortlandt Park and the Bronx.
