LOCATION: Prospect Park

DESCRIPTION:

We are hosting 2 plant walks each month to accommodate as many members as we can! Please only register for only 1 Plant ID Walk.

Our First Plant walk for this month will be located in Prospect Park.

Prospect Park was designed and constructed over a thirty-year period (1865-1895) by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux (The same men who designed Central Park). Widely known for its intricate manmade watercourse (wetlands) and it being the bulk of Brooklyn's remaining indigenous forest, the park is a highly functional green space. During our hike, we will learn about identifying plants, the native flora, basic botany, applications for food, medicine, etc!

This is a late summer plant walk. Please be sure to dress for the weather.
