Spruce up of Sitting Park in Forest Hills

The pigeon problem is causing people to avoid using the park. We hope to put some life into the empty tree pits.

Leader

Steve Melnick

Location

101-01 Queens Blvd at 67 Ave. Forest Hills, NY 11375

Impact areas

About the project

The project will address the removal of pigeon droppings from the entire park. Tree planting has been requested to fill in empty tree pits in the park.

The Steps

Our group will powerwash the park, paint and plant. We will also pass out flyers warning people not to feed the pigeons.

Why we‘re doing it

Removal of pigeon droppings has become a health problem to those using the park. Ongoing studies of preventing pigeon droppings will hopefully put an end to this toxic problem. Planting of trees will enhance the park's look, create a canopy, and help alleviate air pollution from traffic along Queens Blvd.
