SUMMARY:POSTPONED! REIMAGINING: Honoring the Land
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. NEW DATE COMING SOON. \nJoin us for a reflective journey honoring the African Burial Ground and Indigenous history with artist Dennis RedMoon Darkeem. \nThis community walk begins with a ceremonial call-and-response featuring tobacco\, sage\, and libation\, grounding us in ancestral presence and the healing elements of nature. \nParticipants will walk a guided path through four significant historic and natural locations\, each offering a chance to connect with the land\, history\, and collective memory. The walk will invite deep reflection on the park’s layered history from Indigenous stewardship to the erasure and resilience of enslaved African lives. The journey culminates at the African Burial Ground with an offering of sunflowers and messages written to the ancestors\, which will be placed at the gates as a gesture of honor and remembrance. \nWe conclude with an on-site art-making workshop to memorialize the moment through drawing\, collage\, or message making\, ending with a circle of silence and intention. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the sacredness of the land and their place in its continuing story. \nWorkshops start at Enslaved African & Kingsbridge Burial Grounds in Van Cortlandt Park (use Baobab Tree of Life directions in Google Maps) \nSpace is limited. Advanced registration required. \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.

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.
