After a long hard winter, our favorite species have begun showing themselves in our park. As flowers bloom and bird songs grow more frequent, it’s becoming clear: spring is upon us.

From birds to bees, flowers to fungi, there’s lots to discover here in the park this spring. Join us in exploring the park’s plants and wildlife by participating in our seasonal Scavenger Hunt—all ages welcome! Make observations to help us identify what’s living in and around your park. Record your findings by taking a photo and sharing it on the iNaturalist app—your observations will help keep Madison Square Park green.
