SUMMARY:Heather Garden Pollinators ZOOM with Leslie Day
DESCRIPTION:When you visit the Heather Garden in Fort Tryon Park during spring\, summer\, and fall\, you will see not only the hundreds of species of flowering plants. You will see beautiful hummingbirds\, butterflies\, moths\, bees\, beetles\, wasps\, and flies that pollinate these flowers. Join naturalist and author Leslie Day on Zoom\, to learn about the ecological relationship between pollinating animals and the flowers they depend upon for the nectar and pollen that is their food. And without pollinating animals\, most of these flowering plants would be unable to reproduce. Throughout evolution flowers and animals have relied upon one another for life itself. Through stories\, photographs and videos\, you’ll learn about how we\, too\, are dependent upon these interesting and exquisite life forms. \nPlease note: Space is limited and RSVP is required.  Register with Eventbrite! \nThis program was made possible through the support of the Fort Tryon Park Trust and the Greenacre Foundation. \nPhoto by Gabe Kirchheimer

DESCRIPTION:Young artists will cast\, carve and hand color a bas-relief sculpture in plaster. Bas-relief is a low relief carving technique that adapts well to depictions of landscape. Using images of the iconic Palisades as source material\, young artists will learn to identify and separate planes of space and use simple carving techniques to create low relief sculptures. Finishing techniques include using water-based paints to tint plaster and texturization tools. \nRegister with Eventbrite! \nThis program is supported by the Greenacre Foundation and the Fort Tryon Park Trust.

SUMMARY:Heather Garden Pollinators Presentation with Leslie Day
DESCRIPTION:When you visit the Heather Garden in Fort Tryon Park during spring\, summer\, and fall\, you will see not only the hundreds of species of flowering plants. You will see beautiful hummingbirds\, butterflies\, moths\, bees\, beetles\, wasps\, and flies that pollinate these flowers. Join naturalist and author Leslie Day\, to learn about the ecological relationship between pollinating animals and the flowers they depend upon for the nectar and pollen that is their food. And without pollinating animals\, most of these flowering plants would be unable to reproduce. Throughout evolution flowers and animals have relied upon one another for life itself. Through stories\, photographs and videos\, you’ll learn about how we\, too\, are dependent upon these interesting and exquisite life forms. \nPlease note: Space is limited and RSVP is required.
