Item Description
Join Andrew Garn for a Walking Tour of Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY
See this architectural and natural marvel with Andrew Garn, creator of the books New York Pigeon and Brooklyn Arcadia: Art, History, and Nature at Majestic Green-Wood, who will lead a group of ten people. Andrew is a long-time supporter and friend of the Wild Bird Fund.
He will introduce you to some of Green-Wood's 478 spectacular acres of hills, valleys, glacial ponds, and paths, throughout which exists one of the largest outdoor collections of nineteenth- and twentieth-century statuary and funerary architecture.
The intermediate-level walk, roughly two hours, will take place on a spring day in 2024. We may see red-tailed hawks, kestrels, great egrets, great blue herons, the famous monk parakeets, as well as a variety of spring migrators. We will also observe Green-Wood's collection of spectacular spring flowering trees, including Yulan Magnolias, Yoshino and Kwanza cherries, crabapples and dogwoods.
Andrew's recently-published book Brooklyn Arcadia: Art, History, and Nature at Majestic Green-Wood will be available for purchase at a discount (All photos are from the book).
Wear comfortable shoes suitable for uneven terrain and bring a beverage.
