SUMMARY:VCP Nature Group Walk
DESCRIPTION:Take a slow walk in the park and learn about our local flora and fauna from naturalist Debbi Dolan. Debbi has a wealth of knowledge about nature that she enjoys sharing with everyone. \nWalk will meet in front of Van Cortlandt Nature Center. \nSpace is limited. \nAdvance Registration Required. \nWhat to expect in August: \nThe warm\, dry summer had leaves beginning to dry out on plants and trees\, but lately the spate of rain has cooled temperatures. Cicadas and crickets can now be heard buzzing along with melodious birdsong. Butterflies are gracing the meadows\, and cottontail rabbits are grazing. Woodland sunflowers\, swamp rose mallow\, ironweed and Joe-Pye are attracting pollinators\, and we hope Jewelweed flowers will bring ruby throated hummingbirds to their nectar. Berries and seeds are ripening to please other avian species. Dragonflies are patrolling the millpond\, and wood ducks are slogging through the water chestnut.

SUMMARY:REIMAGINING: In Transition
DESCRIPTION:Deep in Van Cortlandt Park there is a sacred area\, an enslaved peoples burial ground. This site is a charged space that speaks to the history of place and asks us to consider in the present how we now honor these people\, how we enter these spaces\, and how we individually and culturally consider transition to ancestors. \nIn Transition is an offering to consider the unique cultural beliefs around honoring ancestors who have passed. It will be facilitated by artist and space doula Tijay Mohammed\, along with Susan Misra and Marcela Torres from the Weaving Liberation of All Beings collective. Together they’ve created an experimental journey for us to interact and reflect with the Enslaved African Burial Ground\, plants and cosmos. It will be a space for grieving\, remembering\, and celebrating concentric circles of ancestors: enslaved peoples\, the land and more-than-human kin\, familial lineages\, and the many people who continue to suffer from oppression today. \nSpace is limited. Please register in advance. \nThis program will meet at the southern end of Hester & Piero’s Pond near the Van Cortlandt Golf House. \nVAN CORTLANDT PARK ALLIANCE (VCPA)  \nThis program is a part of Van Cortlandt Park Alliance’s Reimagining initiative. In partnership with the Design Trust for Public Space and Immanuel Oni\, Liminal Sp\, VCPA invites the community to reimagine the park’s Enslaved African Burial Ground site as a memorial space that fosters long-term healing and restoration. \nThis project is supported by the Mellon Foundation.
