The first of what will eventually be 1,500 new trees in the new park and public spaces arrived on Governors Island last week. For now they’re potted up in “Liberty Village”, along the Buttermilk Channel, but eventually they’ll find new homes in Hammock Grove, Liggett Terrace, the Play Lawn, and even at Soissions Landing where we’re creating a new green welcoming area.
Hammock Grove in particular will feature a mix of native and locally-adapted species including oaks, sassafras and magnolia. The new plantings for Phase One of the park and public spaces (currently under construction) are detailed here.
