SUMMARY:Van Cortlandt Nature Group
DESCRIPTION:Take a slow walk in the park and learn about local flora and fauna with naturalist Debbi Dolan. \nSigns of fall are all around us. Fall migrant warblers have been coming through\, and the raptors are crossing the skies of Van Cortlandt Park. Soon the winter residents will be coming in like the white throated sparrow and northern shovelers. Hummingbirds have been filling up on jewelweed nectar in preparation for their southern migration. The Tibbetts Meadow is looking glorious with asters\, goldenrod and staghorn sumac that are providing sustenance for the hungry migrant species and our resident birds. \nAnimals are beginning to fatten up ahead of winter\, and since farmers had recently cleaned out their fields under the Harvest Moon\, hunters could easily see the deer and other animals that had come out to root through the remaining scraps. \nMeeting at the Van Cortlandt Nature Center. \nRSVP Now. \n

SUMMARY:REIMAGINING: Fall Get-Together
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of creativity and reflection as we gather at the Enslaved African Burial Ground in Van Cortlandt Park. \nThe event will begin with a moving live performance by musician Juan Usera and The Sambuco Tribe\, setting the tone and making space for remembrance and renewal. Following the music\, Bronx-based artist Tijay Mohammed will lead an interactive chalk art project aptly named “Message to my Ancestors\,” transforming the pathway into a vibrant canvas that honors history and sparks imagination for the future. \nLocal artists will work alongside Tijay Mohammed\, including Adrienne George\, Musah Swallah\, Noel Hefele\, and Yoshiko Mori. \nThis unique gathering blends art\, music\, and community in a powerful act of reimagining\, bringing people together in a shared experience of creativity and remembrance. \nRSVP Now. \nTijay Mohammed’s “Message to my Ancestors” project is sponsored by Bronx Council on the Arts and AnkhLave Arts Alliance\, Inc. \nThe event is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.  \nThis event is part of Van Cortlandt Park Alliance’s REIMAGINING initiative. 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. Phase 1 of this project was supported by a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation.  \nJuan Usera is a fourth-generation Bomba practitioner and culture-bearer from Santurce\, Puerto Rico\, a community educator\, researcher\, college professor\, musician\, and performer. He specializes in Puerto Rican and Caribbean music and culture and has over 20 years of experience developing highly engaging cultural activities and arts programs throughout the New York tri-state area. Juan is the founder and director of La Tribu del Juey Sambuco (La Tribu)\, an Afro-Caribbean music and dance ensemble and arts in education company. La Tribu has been featured at Lincoln Center and El Museo del Barrio among many others. He is the recipient of a NYSCA Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Grant\, City Parks Foundation grant\, and NYFA City Artists Corps grant among others. \nGhanaian-born artist Tijay Mohammed currently resides in Bronx\, NY. As an artist he has a strong passion for exploring issues that affect community and humanity at large. His work explores the concept of ‘excess’ in the production and consumption of products\, and offers a solution through the integration of materials reuse and up-cycling. Tijay has spearheaded workshops and community-oriented projects for esteemed organizations\, including the Studio Museum Harlem\, Brooklyn Museum\, Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling\, Children’s Museum of Manhattan\, Wallach Art Gallery\, Lehman College\, University of Ghana\, and Pinto Community Centre in Trinidad and Tobago.
