SUMMARY:Alive at Green-Wood Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:There’s a lot more to a cemetery than death. There’s life – a lot of it. In fact\, for Green-Wood\, the natural environment is a critical part of our future. Join us for this new walking tour to explore the potential of the Cemetery’s 478 acres as a public garden\, a distinction that means much more than manicured lawns and azaleas. It means that we work to teach our visitors about Green-Wood’s ecology and environmental diversity. As an accredited arboretum\, the Cemetery has over 7\,000 trees and a master plan that includes new interpretive panels (signs) across the grounds. You’ll learn so much about the natural beauty and wildlife at Green-Wood that you’ll want to come back and give your own tour to family and friends!\n \nComfortable footwear recommended.

SUMMARY:Rise for Climate\, Jobs\, and Justice: Now is the Time for Action!!
DESCRIPTION:The weekend before San Francisco’s Global Climate Action Summit\, the Peoples Climate Movement will lead a national mobilization for climate\, jobs\, and justice. \nSeptember 8th will be a moving demonstration of the breadth and depth of the climate movement. Across the country\, tens of thousands of people will show our power by hitting the streets\, holding community forums\, and educating voters about the issues – all to ensure that elected and private sector leaders make action on climate a priority. \nFrom Seattle to Miami – and everywhere in-between – activists and non-activists alike will come together to demonstrate to the world that on this day\, and every day\, climate matters. Like the National Day of Action in 2015\, September 8th is about more than just numbers; it’s about telling the story of climate\, jobs\, and justice; it’s about showing that to change everything\, it takes everyone – including you; and it’s about committing to make climate action a part of the national dialogue in November\, in the months that follow\, and well into 2019 and 2020.

SUMMARY:Visit Swale at Brooklyn Army Terminal Pier 4
DESCRIPTION:Swale is a floating food forest built atop a barge that travels to piers in New York City\, offering educational programming and welcoming visitors to harvest herbs\, fruits and vegetables for free. Swale strives to strengthen stewardship of public waterways and land\, while working to shift policies that will increase the presence of edible perennial landscapes. \nSwale was founded in 2016 by artist Mary Mattingly\, through a grant from A Blade of Grass. \nIn the summer of 2016\, Swale launched at Concrete Plant Park in the South Bronx\, one of the largest food deserts in the United States. Food deserts are a reality in many communities in New York City; as many as three million New Yorkers live in communities with limited access to places where they can get fresh produce. Swale began as an idea to advocate for food to be grown on some of the 30\,000 acres of public land in New York City\, through urban stewardship initiatives led by community partners in the South Bronx. \nSwale currently works with Youth Ministries for Peace and Justice to run free public programming\, while also providing professional development opportunities for young folks in the South Bronx. In the summer of 2017\, Swale will continue to collaborate with Bronx River Alliance\, The Point and the New York City Parks Department to expand access to public food in the South Bronx. \n**Free and open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays 12-6pm** \n**Swale will be moving to Governor’s Island beginning in September**

SUMMARY:Prospect Park Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Discover hidden treasures\, natural wonders\, and lesser-known stories on this interactive guided tour of Prospect Park in the heart of Brooklyn. While taking in the beauty of this iconic park’s woodlands\, rolling meadows\, watercourse\, wildlife\, and historic landmarks\, this tour explores the fascinating layers of this 526-acre landscape’s natural and human history\, from the flora and geology\, to the architectural eras visible in the built environment to the past and present of recreation and play.

SUMMARY:Teaching With Weeds: Cultivating Love of Wild Plant Medicines
DESCRIPTION:Dandelion\, burdock\, violet leaf and ground ivy: just a few of the plants we’ve all encountered growing in our school gardens in between the rows of neatly cultivated tomato\, carrot and brassicas. Unwelcome as they may seem\, these plants have been valued for centuries as medicines and sources of wild food. In this workshop educators will learn ways to help young people develop their plant identification skills\, and an appreciation of the healing plants—often discarded as mere weeds—that grow abundantly all over our city. \nThis workshop is in partnership with Green Thumb and Jess Turner of Olamina Botanicals

SUMMARY:High Bridge Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:The High Bridge reopened as a walkway in summer 2015 after a renovation. Join Bryan Diffley\, the Project Manager of the renovation\, for a tour of NYC’s oldest standing bridge. An engineering treasure\, it was built in 1848 to bring water from the Bronx into Manhattan via the Croton Aqueduct. \nThe High Bridge remained in use for the Croton system until December 1958. Its deck was used as a pedestrian bridge until the 1970’s when it was closed due to vandalism. The city began restoring the bridge in 2012.

SUMMARY:Wild Walk in Central Park: With One Earth Conservation
DESCRIPTION:The Climate Reality NYC Metro Chapter invites you to join us as we learn together how biodiversity loss and climate change intersect through a guided walk in our own Central Park. \nUnder the guidance and direction of One Earth Conservation’s Nurture Nature Program we will be lead by Rev. Dr. LoraKim Joyner and Gail Koelln (Climate Reality Leader)\, Co-directors of One Earth. This is a nonsectarian event which will immerse you in the spiritual aspect of nature – a force much greater than ourselves. \nOur hope is to more deeply connect to nature so that we can live with more resilience\, joy\, and contribution to life around us. For a short time we cast off our culture’s attempt to domesticate us and return to our wild selves. We begin with a guided walk that contains practices to grow five natural intelligences – emotional\, social\, multispecies\, ecological\, and spiritual. The second half of the walk we will identify birds and trees\, and enjoy the morning’s light. \nDress comfortably for about 1.5 hours outside. Bring binoculars as we will also be birdwatching! \nIf you get lost or arrive late\, text/call to 914-325-9574. For any questions\, email info@oneearthconservation.org. \nCheck back here for any weather advisories and dress accordingly. There will be an alternate indoor activity if it is too rainy to be outdoors. Please RSVP so you will get instructions under those circumstances.

SUMMARY:Lemon Creek Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Lemon Creek is one of the longest aboveground creeks in New York City\, and its route cuts deeply into the history of Staten Island. Once famous for its oysters and oystermen\, it was a favorite haunt of author Joseph Mitchell in the 1950s\, and is now a Staten Island Bluebelt\, harboring eagles\, peacocks\, and deer. Join writer and photographer Nathan Kensinger on a walk tracing out the lower portions of this fascinating waterway\, as it flows through historic neighborhoods and protected parklands\, and out to Prince’s Bay. \nSturdy\, closed-toed shoes are recommended for this walk\, which will involve following footpaths over streams and through wooded environments. We will start at Amboy Road and Penton Street and end the walk at Bayview Ave. and Johnston Terrace. \nThis walking tour is sponsored by Council Member Joseph Borelli. \nRain date: June 23rd.
